Constrcutive Analysis of True and False Cognates in Filipino and Cuyonon Part 6 December 28, 2007
Posted by Cuyo Press in Research.trackback
Porabil ko ipadayon ang research paper ni Florida Dangan nga ing bel ko sa -10th International Conference on Austronesian Linguistics, dagi ang mga links sa Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part4, Part 5.
Ig dagi ang Findings 6 : Filipino has separate phoneme o and u. While in Cuyonon it is only the phoneme u. There are words spelled o but the o is pronounced as u.
Example:
| FILIPINO | CUYONON | MEANING |
| abot /’abot/ | abot /abut/ | reach, attain |
| ampon /’ampon/ | ampon /ampun/ | adopted |
| bangko /bangko’ | bangko /bangku’/ | bench, bank |
| kuko /kukoh/ | koko /kuku’/ | finger, toe nails |
