The gombessa article has said {komoros} since I first wrote it; but in French they are called Comores, with the last two letters silent, and the language there (a close relative of Swahili) is called Shikomor, in which the islands are called Komori. So should the word be {koMOR}? phma -- li fi'u vu'u fi'u fi'u du li pa
