​@@tommyarrsantos6698 According to "Annotations of The Book of Luelen" (page 31), it is called "pweten malipwur." The "malipwur" is a legendary sea creature which no one has ever seen. "Pwet" means basically 'scale'. It is used with reference to fish scales and pieces of tortoiseshell, which physiologically are modified scales and are classified appropriately by the Ponapeans.
