Futunan kalu-matathe whites of the eyes

This is an example of the extreme lengths Dempwolff (1938) sometimes went to in order to force a comparison semantically when the sound correspondences permitted the reconstruction of a phonemic form. He glossed the Javanese form ‘maize without kernels’, but that is not the gloss in Horne (1974), and I am unable to find the form at all in Pigeaud (1938). Similarly, Futunan kalu-mata does not appear in Moyse-Faurie (1993), and even if it did the semantic distance between this and Tagalog kalót is so great as to render any comparison too speculative to take seriously.

(Dempwolff: *lali ‘unnoticed, not perceived’)

unnoticed, not perceived

WMP
Malay laliinsensitive to pain or emotion, of soldiers reckless of danger
Old Javanese lalito forget, fail to notice
Javanese lalito forget
Javanese lali-lalito keep forgetting; to try to forget

Probably a chance resemblance. Dempwolff (1938) positied Uraustronesisch *lali ‘unnoticed, not perceived’ (Unbemerktsein).
