Etymology

[edit]

@Ysrael214 The etymology you added here is a bit of a jump though. Where did you get it? Mar vin kaiser (talk) 13:48, 11 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Mar vin kaiser ACD's *pijax entry. The comment says this.
"Tagalog ilán for expected **pilá, on the other hand, is doubly irregular in showing loss of *p- and addition of –n, but the highly specific semantics make it very likely that this form is also a reflex of *pija."

To be fair, Kapampangan is already has a form pilan, it's just one sound away and not that implausible.
Let me add Kapampangan pilan too to the comparison. Ysrael214 (talk) 14:43, 11 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
