"Iyus" is a word in HILIGAYNON
íyus - See íyos—to move, etc.
j, The soft Visayan aspirate is best
represented by the letter "H” pronounced
as in English. Therefore the letter "J” can
be dispensed with in writing Visayan, even
when Spanish words occur, such
as:—Jesucristo, José, alhajas, etc., which
are spelled:—Hesukrísto, Hosé, aláhas, etc.
k, This letter has the same sound as the
English "c” in "cat, come, cut, fact, etc.”,
but is pronounced a little softer than "ck” in
"lack, pack, struck, etc.”.
Modern writers almost exclusively employ
"k”, where formerly "c” (before "a”, "o”, "u”,
all consonants and hyphens, and at the end
of words) and "qu” (before "e” and "i”) were
used. Bearing this in mind it is easy to find
in this dictionary expressions originally
written according to the old spelling, as
acó, caácò, catacá, cácac, bác-hò, bác-it,
báquid, quíquic, etc., under akó, kaákò,
kataká, kákak, bákhò, bák-it, bákid, kíkik,
etc.
The prefixes pan-, hi-, ha-, etc., if
composed with words beginning with the
letter "k”, become pang—, hing—, hang—,
etc. and the "k” drops out, e.g. karós—
pangarós; kaláyo—hingaláyo; kuyús—
hanguyús, etc.
Joshua tried to find the right words to explain how things were--how they'd always been. "It's like... prairie dogs."Ben quirked an eyebrow at him."You see the holes. 'N' you know the dogs are around, even if you don't see the dogs themselves.""What the hell are you talkin' about?""Gay. Cowboys. They're there. Like a lot of single cowboys, they go into Billings once a month, only they ain't there so see women. There's no point in flingin' yourself around in public, 's all.
