Note 1 — Daily Life and Matters Connected with It

I am unable to state the various forms and varieties of these vegetables, but I give the following native names for plants of the yam, taro, and sweet potato types:—Yams include tsiolo, avanve, buba, aligarde, vaule, vonide, poloide and ilavuide. Taros include auvari, elume, lupeliolu, kamulepe, ivuvana and fude. Sweet potatoes include asi, bili, dube, saisasumulube and amb’ u tolo (this last name means “ripe banana,” and the reason suggested for the name is that the potato tastes rather like a ripe banana).
