P follows by telling us how they settled in the tiny islands from New Zealand to Hawaii. R follows by telling us that there is no written record of these voyages undertaken by them. TS conclude as a pair - T tells us that despite the lack of written history, the similarities in languages across these island dwellers is evidence of the voyages. S follows by telling us how the spreading of foodstuffs is yet another piece of evidence.
