Proto-Austronesian

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /sabaʀat/, /sabarat/

Noun

*Sabaʀat

1. east or south wind

Usage notes

In Formosa, this term refers to the western wind or eastern wind and monsoons on Malayo-Polynesian and its Southeast Asian descendants, but on some Polynesian reflexes, where their location is beyond reach of the winds or monsoons, this refers to strong storm winds without reference to cardinal direction.
