eng → fij one-to-many mapping
- Case 1: Pelu and lo’i describe two different kinds of bending action.
(eng) bend → (fij) pelu (e.g. bend of metal)
(eng) bend → (fij) lo’i (e.g. bend at a joint)
- Case 2:
(eng) shine on → (fij) cina (light/torch shines on)
(eng) shine on → (fij) cila (sun/moon/star shines on)
(This is a disambiguation problem) The third person singular pronoun in English does not distinguish between nominative and accusative case.

(fij) koya → (eng) it
(a disambiguation problem) The word levu can be used either as an adjective meaning "big", or a verb meaning "be a lot".
