•  run; flee.

Note: PAD: molao ‘flee’ (expected: **molau); TOL: molasu ‘flee’. [PMP *laRiw ‘run, flee’ (Dempwolff, in Zorc 1971 2054); the expected Eastern reflex **leu is unattested]

Note: fn 206: Although similar in form and meaning, Moronene, Kulisusu, Mori Bawah molai ‘flee’ (Andersen 1995:4; Esser 1927:57) appears not to be not cognate; compare Pamona palai ‘flee’ (Addrinai 1928), PPH *laRi ‘hurry, fast’ (Zorc, in Zorc 1971 2052).
