How do you call this new breed?



A cross breed of pigs from a wildboar father and a kampong or indigenous longhouse female pig

= i-boar

(i for Iban)

or a Kam - boar (Kam for kampong)

I don't think i- pig would be appropriate.

i- babi (also not so appropriate)..

i-khinsir (Iban word for pig)

So I would leave it to you readers to name the new cross breed today......



New generation of the better and more intelligent khinsir. Each pig is certified healthy by the local  vet department!!
