Thanks. One response I got today from an inquirey was as follows:
""Palakona" is just what Hardy called it's bamboo manufacturing process,
it dosn't really mean anything other than as a brand designation."
Ok-I can belive that is fitting. Still though, what is root of that term?
The Term Lakona is popular and is a destination on Papua New Guinea. So in blending these two names- You can get Pa-lakona. That is a stretch..but plausable if there is bamboo there?
