Now we will learn about some colours.

Red - Bilieah
Dark red - Bilieah pogiah
Yellow - Siia'
Too yellow - Siia' pogah
Green - Bilu
Blue - Bilu kodu
Black - Songot
Too black (refer to extreme dark skin colour) - Songot poto'
White - Moopuu'
Too white (refer to extreme white fair skin colour) - Moopuu' Suuwi'

And the other colours that are available, we just says it as the english word.
I don't know why.
But maybe that are the only colours that my ancestor know once upon the time...
