Yoichi Rengiil tells me that mousuliub means to avoid something, but exploring the word and usage a bit, it sounded more like a noun (avoidance?). I wonder 1) what is the proper spelling -- is it mo ousuliub or mousulib -- and 2) is it related to oliub = v.t., sneak out; avoid; get away from; leave behind; sneak away from (person); hide (oneself) from. Yoichi also said that in some parts of Palau it is pronounced "mousuliubk," with an ending "k" sound.
