- epilys 4y agoSuper interesting! I chose meli as a name because it sounds like mail, kinda. Do you know if the Fiji word is a loanword from european languages? (old french/german)
- markdown 4y agoYes, it's an anglicism (english loanword). For example, a mail ship would be called meli sitima (mail steamer). The postal service is also called meli. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Mail_Ship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Mail_Ship
