Talk:tala

Tagalog Etymology Source

@Ysrael214 You cited Potet in the etymology only by name though, better if you put the actual source or people won't know who he is lol. Mar vin kaiser (talk) 13:36, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ysrael214: All dictionaries I have only have "any bright star" for both tala and lusero. Where'd you get the "comet" definition? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 09:42, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser kwfdiksiyonaryo.ph says this:

"Planetang lubhang malayò kaysa tingin kung gabí na tíla isa lámang maningning na tuldok sa langit."

which is Venus by context

and in Vocabulario de la lengua tagala

https://books.google.com.ph/books?redir_esc=y&id=PTIOAAAAIAAJ&q=tala#v=snippet&q=lucero%20del%20alba&f=false

TALA. lucero del alba. lucero del alba in this case not just any bright star but the morning star itself

https://dle.rae.es/lucero?m=form

I'm not sure if UPDF really meant that it can be ANY star or maybe it just describes the morning star that it is a bright star.

But I think the attribution to Venus as the morning star is still needed here.

Evening Star is Tanglaw-Daga instead not knowing they're the same planet.

Maybe keep the bright star, but add definition that it's the morning star

but I think the bright star should be the extension
