Alternative spelling sarung as in the original Malay. I don't like the reference to South Pacific as sarong is definitely of Southeast Asian origin. Polynesians probably have their own traditional words for the equivalent garment. Also there is no particular requirement that sarongs be brightly coloured and I have a few myself that clearly aren't. 'Often brightly coloured' I could live with. cheers, B
