歴史

詳しくは「ポルトガル時代の歴史」 Hist-Port を見よ。 ポルトガル人は Solor および Ende から、 フローレス島の Larantuka を経て、 Oecusse （そして Diliへ）と わたったのである。 ポルトガル人といっしょに「黒いポルトガル人たち」 （Topass あるいは Kase Metan たち）も

親近感

Molnar が Timor Leste [@molnar-timor-leste] の中で、 Kemak の間で聞いた次のような演説を再録している：

The Flores people are related to the East Timorese, especially to the Kemak. The Flores people still have a named house called Uma Beu Ubu. A long time ago there were three liurai [kings] in East Timor. But because of a disagreement they split up. One went to the West, Loro Kik, and under his authority belonged West Timor and Flores. One stayed in the middle, Loro Bot, the liurai (koronel bote) of Atsabe whose authority extended over central and western parts of East Timor ... Another one went to the East, Loro Sa'e, and his authoriy extended over Lospalos and teritories east of it. But the gold items of wealth ... were only retained by Loro Kik and Loro Bot.
