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!! |
