Line 4:
The Etoro believe that they each contain a certain amount of [[Energy (esotericism)|life force]], the highest concentrations of which are contained in semen. This life force passes to others through sexual relations. Women are seen to waste the life force if they do not get pregnant after sexual intercourse. As people get older, and their bodies weaken, this is attributed to a depletion of their life force.
In 2009, the [[National Geographic Society]] reported an estimate that there were fewer than 1668 speakers of the Etoro/[[Edolo language]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://travel.nationalgeographic.com.au/travel/enduring-voices/png-expedition/|title=Papua New Guinea Expedition -- Enduring Voices Project, Endangered Languages, Map, Facts, Photos, Videos -- National Geographic|date=Summer 2009|website=National Geographic|access-date=2016-06-20}}</ref>
