Information on Bek (Pek?)
"3.2.3 Vera 'a Apart from three Mwotlav-speaking villages on the northeastern part of the island, there are two languages spoken on Vanualava: Vera'a in the north and west, and Vures in the southeast. Vera'a, referred to after the village name Vatrata in Tryon (1976), is spoken mainly in that village but also apparently in some smaller neighbouring villages, including Leon in the west and a few small settlements to the north of it. Tryon (1976) has three standard wordlists, from Vatrata, Sasar and Bek (= Ambek?), the first collected with the assistance of Rawcliffe, while Lebot and Cabalion (1986:84) provide names for just over half a dozen kava varieties. A number of now abandoned villages were also occupied by speakers of additional dialects in this area: Codrington (1885a:332-337) has sketches of the Pak dialect, which may represent the same place as Bek, and also of the Leon and Sasar dialect (Codrington 1885a:337-344). There is no record of any publication in this language. There is some suggestion (Catriona Hyslop pers. comm.) that the variety spoken in Ambek (= Bek or Pak?) may be a different language, with only a handful of speakers, but this requires further checking." (p.40)
