Is this the "Espiritu Santo" language from Codrington?

Looks like Tolomako, with the sound change m > n and p > t (nata "eye", tei "water"), but unlike the language where no consonant clusters/final consonants exist, there appears to be final consonants kanam for kanamu. Does it mean that Tolomako had dialects that underwent vowel deletion while the Biblical one had no such deletion? Kwékwlos (talk) 09:04, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
