Another Tok Pisin term that is possibly correct, but that I can't find any evidence for. --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 16:34, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
- Partially verifiable - HLP gives the starting term "Pato" (integrated from the Spanish language), but does not give the actual term patogus to mean Goose. However, it is known among older people as patogus, but among the younger generations simply as gus. I will refer this to my colleague at tpi.wikipedia for a more definitive answer.

- Yeah, we have pato already. Do you think gus is derived directly from goose, or via patogus? --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 21:38, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
- My suspicion is it's probably derivative of patogus, since it is being taken and used by younger generations of speakers. I have notified one of my colleagues from the Tok Pisin Wikipedia though, and will get back to you with a definitive answer once I actually have one :) BarkingFish (talk) 23:13, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
