Title Meto Song
Description Alexander sings a Meto song (which he identifies as originally from the Utara `North' part of West Timor) which has long been popular and widespread amongst the Amarasi people, and has since been fully incorporated into Amarasi culture as well (with some verses overlapping that in TLT1-20221107_CON008 and TLT1-20221113_CON010). The song itself shows a mix of various Meto and Amarasi dialect features. Some Amarasi-specific versions of this song (with different lyrics and fully in Amarasi rather than Meto) are titled Sea Nono Heu, which refers to the stage of the traditional Amarasi wedding ceremony wherein the bride changes her clan name/surname to that of her husband (sea `move/change', nono `clan', heu `origin').
