How do you know that?

Myself, I think there was some kind of sea-born trade with SEAsia
going on them, possibly around Africa, which accounts for these words
as loanwords from SEAsia.

A.F :

I agree some words in PAA are loanwords from SE Asia,

especially : kl_b "dog"

But I do not think *p_l is a loanword from SE Asia.

I was disappointed by your references : nothing about "full"

I suppose something went wrong when giving the references.
