"Dwal-Dwal" is a word in HILIGAYNON
dwál-dwál - See duálduál—to surfeit,
glut, etc.
e, The Visayan language has a vowel-sound
that is neither that of Spanish "e” nor of
Spanish "i”, but occupies a position
somewhere between the two. Consequently
this sound is represented sometimes by "e”
and sometimes by "i”, even in spelling the
same word, e.g. babáye, babáe, babáyi,
babái; bebíngka, bibíngka; bígne, bígni,
etc.
In choosing between the two vowels "i” has
a better claim to recognition than "e”, for
the following reasons:—
1) The full open sound of "e” is never heard
in Visayan, whereas "i” is often very clearly
and sharply pronounced.
2) Whilst it is true that in many words the
sound, of which we have spoken, is vague,
yet as a rule it approaches "i” more nearly
than "e”.
The conclusion is that "i” can always be
used, and that "e” might without loss be
abolished from the Visayan Alphabet.
The following words under "e” are given,
because, although they are of Spanish
origin, yet they are frequently used in
Visayan.
True religion is that which does not let you stumble.
