Rfv-sense diamond; this Tok Pisin term crops up occasionally in the first sense, but I can't find any evidence of it existing in this sense. I suspect it to be an ad hoc translation rather than a truly existing word. --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 18:45, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Verifiable word but incorrectly spelled. Diamond in the Tok Pisin langauge is daimen, not daiman. Daiman means "dead person" or corpse, so I think that needs some adjustment :) (Verified by the Human Languages Project, compiled by Terry and Sylvia O'Dell Barhorst (archived version by www.june29.com) BarkingFish (talk) 22:49, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
- We already have the corpse sense, so I closed this and I'll move the content to daimen. Thanks! --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 22:53, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
