A long low island halfway across the Halmahera sea, with water and a beach, and nothing else (board).
It is on the campaign board because without it the crossing from the clove islands to Waigeo is too long for a boat that has to be pulled up each night, and with it the Papuan trade works. No settlement or chief is attested.

Where the sources disagree
- The campaign board's text says 'Patani to Waigeo'; we read this as the clove-island coast to Waigeo.
Evidence: Geography and the campaign board only. The campaign board marks it 'likely'.
"The campaign board" is OMNIA's working map. These notes record where its earlier claims were checked against the sources.
On the map: A place marker; the ground round it, if any, is drawn in the lord and province records.
