rumrum1Englishrespectful; shy; hesitant; cooperative and agreeableThis sense can include the idea of being hesitant in personality, perhaps even cooperative and agreeable.buh12Englishshamed; ashamed; embarrassedTok PisinsemAll the terms for shame traditionally originated in one's stomach but today people may say shame originates in one's mind or thinking. To convey the idea of shame or guilt in Sursurunga, a term is usually combined with i_mátán_ái... (in his eye, i.e. whoever's eye one is shamed in). Rumrum defines more debilitating shame, the kind that keeps one from being seen in public over a period of time. How debilitated one is depends on how ashamed one is and over what. The feeling of being rumrum has more outward evidence and lasts longer than masa. Masa is more hidden and often of a temporary nature. Ámáris speaks of embarassment over one's circumstances, especially poverty and lack of help. Perhaps the strongest feeling of shame comes when one is feeling kunsin_i_mátán (naked in the eye of another). For causing another to be ashamed, see arumrumái.

rus2SurpurEnglishfall off; rot off; fall downThis can refer to fruit that has fallen off a tree because it's ripe, or because the tree has been choked by a vine preventing the fruit becoming ripe. It may refer to fruit or leaves shaken off a tree, although the reduplicated form rusrus is usually more appropriate for this since there would be many falling at that time. It can also refer to something falling off a dead body, as in rotting off. This word also describes the evaporation of dew when the sun comes out. A person may also rus, i.e. fall down.Pákánbung kángim tu kis talum i lalin tawan, gim sodar suri wán marang a pur tilamuni uradi bim, má kápte gim mánán ngo dánih a pur. Má pákánbung gim aptur má gimá mákmák, gimá mákái ngo wán marang a rus tilamuni aun.While we were meeting underneath the tawan tree, we were surprised by a coconut that fell from up there down to the ground, and we did not know what fell.
