Change to Serpent from snake

An IP says in their edit summary: 'Degei (phonetically spelt Ndengei) was described as the Great Serpent in Fijian creation myths. (Refer to Myths &Legends of Fiji and Rotuma by A.W. Reed and Inez Hames if you don't believe me') - well not sure I do believe you, since Serpent is an English word, and I doubt the Fijians used English in their creation myth, and A.W. Reed was a New Zealand European and an (amateur) historian who liked adding romantic phraseology like 'Great Serpent', and Inez Hames doesn't sound too Fijian... 'Serpent' means the same as 'snake' anyway. Kahuroa 19:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
