Tagalog Etymology
I saw you added the "hin-di" etymology. removed it from an etymology found in Austronesian Comparative Dictionary. So I was wondering where you got that etymology. Mar vin kaiser (talk) 13:16, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * You say it's a fossilized compound, it's possible, but it's doesn't explain why the Proto-Philippine word doesn't have the /n/ part of "hin-". --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 13:07, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Mar vin kaiser there's likely another paper somewhere where Blust explains why he chose the PMP forms the way they are. I've had a talk before with some people in the comments of some linguistics video before and someone mentioned there having read more about Blust's findings on these besides the comparative dictionary website. I'm not sure tho if they mean that they read that from Dempwolff before or that Blust had some other writings discussing these reconstructions he put on that website. I haven't read tho what the Proto-Philippine form of this would be. Mlgc1998 (talk) 07:21, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
