He is called Qat (pronounced ) in Mota, an Oceanic language which was first documented by Anglican missionaries such as Robert Codrington at the end of the 19th century. He is known under other names and pronunciations in the languages of neighbouring Banks and Torres islands: Qet ; Iqet ; Qo’ ; Merawehih ; and so on. This mythological figure obviously has strong connections with the god known as Tagaro in other parts of Vanuatu.
