TO THE STUDENT:
The noun suffix /-(e)t/ indicates a location in the immediate proximity of the speaker. Thus, /kousapw/ meaning 'section of land' may take the suffix /-(e)t/ to result in /kousapwet/ or 'this section of land.' (In the case of ‘this place‘, the final vowel of /wasa/ is lengthened and /-t/ is suffixed to produce /wasaht/.)
when asking about the name of a piece of land, /wasa/ is commonly employed as an alternate to /sahpw/.
In M-2, the names of the municipalities of Ponape are listed as they are usually ranked. In M~5 and M-4, kousapws and sahpws of each of the five municipalities are listed in the order of M—2. Therefore, you may determine that Pahn Pei Pwel is the name of a sahpw which is located in the kousapw of Pohrasapw in the municipality of Kiti.
