Usage examples of "tanging".
Apparently handfuls of migrants from Eastern Polynesia failed to establish the tanging of adzes among the conservative Western Polynesians.
A number of archaeologists have concluded that the tanging of adzes was brought to Polynesia by migrants from the west, although tanging is not typical of Western Polynesian, Melanesian or Micronesian adzes.
Eastern Polynesia and Western Polynesia came separately to those areas from a common proto-Polynesian area, or that the Western Polynesians, before the Eastern Polynesians left Western Polynesia, practised the tanging of adzes.
The facts could be explained by the view that, after the Eastern Polynesians left Western Polynesia, some random migrants who had by-passed Western Polynesia introduced the art of tanging into Eastern Polynesia.
