Etymology
Just wondering how you know it's a Malay borrowing. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 12:21, 1 January 2022 (UTC)


 * @Mar vin kaiser Guess. KWF Diksiyonaryo doesn't provide any etymology for it. Your sources? TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 12:23, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * My sources don't say anything. It's better if we don't guess these things, because we might get it wrong, at best we can definitely say they're related, but it's also possible that Malay borrowed from Tagalog (though unlikely) or there's a third language that both Malay and Tagalog borrowed from. Either way, it's better to be safe. I'll edit it to be a cognate. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 12:25, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
