Pumpernickel vs rye

Republic of South Molluccas

Coat of arms
Edit
The RMS coat of arms depicts the white Moluccan dove called 'Pombo'. The white dove is seen as a symbol of positivity and a good omen. The 'Pombo' is shown, about to start flying, the wings half opened and in its beak a peace branch, the chest tattooed with a crossed 'parang', 'salawaku' and spear.

The blazon of the RMS coat of arms state the words 'Mena - Moeria'. This slogan is derived from the original Melanesian Moluccan language. Since ancient times it is yelled by the steerer and paddlers of the traditional Moluccan rowing boats called 'Kora Kora', to synchronise their strokes during off shore expeditions. It literally means 'Front - Back', but is also translated as 'I go - We follow' or 'One for all - All for One'. Cf Hawaiian lau lima: hands together

Anthem
Edit
The RMS anthem is called "Maluku tanah airku", which translates to English as "Maluku my homeland," and was written by Chris Soumokil and O. Sahalessy in the Malay language, with Melanesian Moluccan word

"Over 130 languages were once spoken across the islands; however, many
have now switched to the creoles of Ternate Malay and Ambonese Malay,
the lingua franca of northern and southern Maluku, respectively."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maluku_Islands#Languages

"Pombo" is Portuguese for 'pigeon'.

When they say "Melanesian" in this area they seem to mean "Papuan".
There are still Papuan languages spoken in North Maluku but not in the
south. So "original Melanesian Moluccan language" is not something known
to us. But those words look Austronesian to me:

Mena - front - Buru mena, Dobel mona, Nyindrou (Manus) bwena~mwena
'front' perhaps related to Oceanic *muqa-na

Moeria - back (assuming Dutch-spelled oe = u) Buru -mori-, Dobel muri,
CEMP *m-udi

Can't find anything on "Kora Kora".

The anthem looks like Malay. My dictionary gives "tanah air" (lit. land
water) as 'fatherland'.

The clove trade was based there.
