Fijian

Etymology

From Proto-Central Pacific *voce, from Proto-Oceanic *pose, from Proto-Eastern Malayo-Polynesian *bose, from Proto-Central-Eastern Malayo-Polynesian *bəsay, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *bəʀsay.

Verb

voce (transitive vocea or vocera) (intransitive)

1. to paddle, to row (to propel a boat through water with oars)

   Era voce tiko ena waqa.

   They are paddling/rowing in the boat.

2. to paddle, to row (a boat) [vocea]

   Au vocea na waqa.

   I paddle/row the boat.

3. to paddle to (a place) [vocera]

   Keimami vocera ki Beqa.

   We paddled to Beqa.

Usage notes

• The transitive form vocea takes the boat as its direct object, while vocera takes the destination as its object.
• Traditionally, Fijians paddle facing the bow using a single oar without a rowlock, unlike the European custom of rowing with two oars while facing the stern.

Derived terms

• ivocevoce (“paddle, oar; propeller blade”)
• vakalutu ivoce (canoe song sung in rhythm with paddling) (archaic, chiefly Yasawa)
