“In the neighboring island of New Britain, one account gives a similar origin for the two brothers To-Rabinana and To-Karvuvu: An old woman was wading in the sea searching for shellfish; her arms pained her, and so, taking two sharp strips of pandanus, she scratched and cut first one arm and then the other.”
