mo1Surngisán maritEnglishtree type; pandanus typeThe mo is like the naum tree. Its leaves are like the leaves of the naum, but its leaves are a bit small, and the leaves of the naum are large. They sew up the mo leaves also for (rain) coverings or for walling up a girl intitiate (i.e. make her hut with mo leaves), just like also the leaves of the bal. The (fruit) clusters of the mo are long and/but not round like the marit clusters, and it is red, and they eat it. Some here in Sursurunga boil the mo fruit to get its juice and then they mix cassava with it so it becomes red. It is not like the fruit of the marit.
