Just a word about Austronesian

I was browsing the Net when I found a list of cognates between several Austronesian languages and their meanings.
 
The line corresponding to "head" started with an Indonesian "kepala" that didn't seem to match any of the other languages (Tagalog "Ășlo", Fijian "ulu", Maori "uru" and Hawaiian "po'o" - well, maybe the last ones does).
 
Can I take this as just a coincidence with Greek?
 
Thanks.
