> The inhabitants of Ngiual eat constantly (lit. seven times) throughout the day.
Proverbs:
Euid
el
lomengur.
> Eat seven times.
Used of the people of Ngiwal with the implication that they eat seven (instead of three) times a day. Two interpretations: (I) Ngiwal is fronted by a shallow, narrow fringing reef with poor fishing, hence the people must eat an unusual amount of taro; (2) the region of Ngiwal conforms, in the origin myth, with the location of the stomach of the fallen body of the giant Uab. Hence, the people of Ngiwal are continually hungry. Generally, throughout Palau, Ngiwal is famous for the taste of its exceptionally good taro.
