Dear Yong Peng and Nina,

I would suggest the word "chewed" instead of "munched"
in your translation of the following compound:
asitapiitakhaayitasaayita.m - being tasted, munched,
drunk and eaten

To my native English ears (albeit Aussie English),
munched just sounds a little too slangy.

Metta,
John
