[edit]

This still needs a lot of work. I will continue adding to it. In fact, the term omo sebua i understand actually only applies to the large chief's houses in these villages, although the more modest commoner homes have many similar elements. Merbabu 11:55, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well actually AFAIK the literal meaning of the phrase Omo Sebua (in the Niassan tongue) is Big (=Sebua) House (=Omo). I'll try to confirm this with my Mom. Heh :p
Btw a very, very big thanks for starting the article; its heartwarming how far the circle of Nias articles have grown since I left active Wikipedia editing over three years ago :) --Lemi4 (talk) 19:57, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
