This is the origin of the Tao word for "pig." DNA paternity testing technology didn't appear until the 1980s, so these written records and oral legends can't prove the numbers or genetic purity of early Lanyu miniature pigs. However, they fit roughly with the traits of the Lanyu miniature pig.
雖然遲至 1980 年代才有 DNA 親源鑑定技術的出現，因此上述文字紀錄或口傳故事不能確證古早的蘭嶼豬數量繁多、血種純正，但頗能符合蘭嶼小耳豬的大致特徵。
