Examples:
> Where is your house to be built?
> Our new house was built by my father.
> the first house of work to spread God's word in this country
> The house is not built yet.
> When I went to America, I lived at Toki's place.
Proverbs:
> Like the uul [Cettria cantans?] with its house open, calling for rain.
The uul may be heard to call out usually just before it rains; some say that it is calling for rain. This seems foolish, since the bird constructs its house with an opening at the top that will let rain in. A person who makes a decision or starts some action without adequate preparation is likened to the uul.
> You're like a floating log without a resting place.
You have no fixed abode.
> You're getting involved with someone too closely related.
Possibly derived from an incident in which a coconut syrup maker was incestuously involved with his wife's sister.
More Examples:
> I'm so worried about these big trees by the house if they would break and crush us.
> And you, how many people are in your family?
> Bring this basket of prepared food to Dachelbai's house and tell him that it's from Ulang for Kitalong's house-party.
> Who was it that came to the house?
> I have plenty (of them) at my house [like the tide fills the reef, the house is full].
