Manioc (Manihot) is in the spurge family (as is the poinsettia). Yam (Dioscorea) is in the yam family. Which of these, if any, is the default meaning of {samcu}? What are the names of the others? What about the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas, in the morning glory genus) and the Jerusalem artichoke (which is in the taxonomy chart as {solxrula patlu}, but I may be wrong)? phma -- .i toljundi do .ibabo mi'afra tu'a do .ibabo damba do .ibabo do jinga .icu'u la ma'atman.
