Agreed, we are talking about Awak vs. Mysore. My point is that name "Misi Luki" in Samoa (where the Pisang Awak clone sold in the US is said to have come from) is not only Mysore, as Gabe has asserted. It's like a Samoan visiting the US, catching a fish he is told is called a "bass", and him telling his friends in Samoa that "bass" in the US means Paralabrax clathratus (kelp bass). While that is true, the common name "bass" refers to dozens of species of fish in several families.
