márnga-imámngai2transitive verbEnglishsow nondeliberatelyThis is accomplished by something which eats the edible part of a fruit or seed and then throws the rest away, thus sowing it (like a fruit bat does with a tawan fruit). This is done as part of its nature rather than deliberately. Birds known for doing this are the bek (fruit bat) who carries betel nut in his mouth but drops part of it, and the kár (parrot) and unsir who eat pawpaw seeds which pass through their systems.
