@ Kwemsawir: Please stop removing information supported by reliable sources. You note that the source from Kulick does not mention it, however absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. A reliable source mentions it, so it should be included. If you have a source that specifically states that Taiap does not have a pandanus register, then that should also be included. Also you can tone down your remarks in your edit comments. Try to act a little more politely, please. -- awkwafaba ( 📥) 03:36, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Taiap language → Tayap language – Taiap has been renamed as Tayap by Don Kulick in his 2019 book, A Grammar and Dictionary of Tayap. Kulick is the main authority on this language, as he has been working on it for over 30 years. — Sagotreespirit ( talk) 00:35, 16 March 2020 (UTC)—Relisting. Jerm ( talk) 14:52, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
The "Grammar" section contains the following paragraph:
"There is a fundamental distinction in verbal morphology between realis and irrealis stems and suffixes. Grammatical relations are marked by verbal suffixes, which distinguish Subject/Agent (S/A) and Object (O). In some conjugations S/A is marked by discontinuous morphemes. Free pronouns and noun phrases mark the ergative case (A) compared to unmarked forms for the absolutive (S/O). As in many Papuan languages which have an ergative case, the ergative marker is optional and is frequently omitted."
That is an unattributed, direct word-for-word copy from Kulick's "Grammar and Dictionary of Tayap" book, page 25, without any kind of credit given for those words. I have not extensively checked the other sections for direct word-for-word copies like that, so it can very well be that that occurs in more places than that paragraph.
