  "Despite [Paul} O’Rear’s report mentioning the limited use of Rema [bow] (alt. name Bothar) in Wereavere, at the time of our survey, Ethnologue listed it as extinct (Lewis, 2009, p. 633). Although this turned out to be erroneous and we met many adults who still used it, our reliance on the Ethnologue classification meant that we did not expect to encounter it."
