What does "themuna" or "muna" mean? Long story.

I am not going to actually tell it, in case you were wondering. However, I will discuss some research material, or lack thereof in some cases.

For instance:

The Transitional Government for Social Unity, or GUNT. Might want to rethink that acronym.

When it comes to "muna," though, I just today thought to check on various iterations:

M.U.N.A - Model United Nations: all about building bridges of goodwill for world peace and understanding in the minds of our youth. (yep. that's me in a nutshell)

Muslim Ummah of North America: hmmm

My personal favourite...

Muna A language of Indonesia (Sulawesi)

Population: 227,000 (1989 van den Berg). Population includes 600 in Ambon (1985 SIL). 150,000 Standard Muna, 10,000 Tiworo, 7,000 Siompu, 60,000 Gulamas (1989 van den Berg).

Region: Muna Island off southeast Sulawesi, northwest coast of Buton Island, and Ambon, central Maluku.

Alternate names: Wuna, Mounan

Dialects: Standard Muna (Northern Muna), Gulamas (Southern Muna), Siompu, Tiworo (Eastern Muna). Subdialects of Standard Muna are: Tungkuno, Kabawo, Lawa, Katobu, Tobea Besar; of Gulamas are: Gu, Mawasangka, Lakudo, Wale-Ale, Lawama, Kadatua, Lowu-Lowu, Kalia-Lia, Katobengke, Topa, Salaa, Lawela, Laompo, Burukene. Lexical similarity 71% with Pancana, 62% with Cia-Cia, 52% with Wolio, 50% with Lasalimu, 47% with Tukang Besi, 45% with Kamaru.

So, not too bad. Nothing profane, at first blush. I like the fact that I have subdialects.
