> The boy was stuck precariously in the banana tree; the spear is stuck precariously in the coral rocks.
> Damn it!
> I am going to eat up those bananas and that apple.

Proverbs:
> You're like the Ngcheangel banana (meduch a ngerel).
You're all talk and no action).
> He cut down his own banana.
A man supplies fertilizer (money) for a banana tree that, eventually, provides fruit (gifts of food). The cycle, in this saying, is compared with that of the food-money cycle of a marriage in which the wife's clan provides food and service, while the husband's clan provides occasional payments of money. If a banana tree is cut down before it bears fruit, the cycle is interrupted. Hence, a man who marries incestuously within his own clan and thereby inhibits the foodmoney cycle.
More Examples:
> Put the cooked bananas in a plate.
> Put the other uncooked bananas in the frying pan.
> Take some ripe bananans.
> Turn the bananas with tongs.
> My banana tree fell over from the wind last night.
