m, The letter "M” in Visayan is pronounced
as in English. The letter "M” is one of the

bulúng); pamúlong (pan-, púlong), etc.
etc.
2) after the prefixes hi- and ha-, e.g.
himungá (hi—, búnga); himúlbul (hi—,
búlbul); hamulák (ha—, búlak); hámtang
(ha—, butáng), etc. etc.
lyábi = yábi.
-ra, -ru = yabíra, yabíru.

1 first place and 5 second place), and once that the same numbers come out in reverse order (i.
e.
5 first place and 1 second place).
Thus, one avoids betting on the right combination in the wrong order.

WORD SUGGESTIONS
A pious man who had reached the age of 105 suddenly stopped going to synagogue. Alarmed by the old fellow's absence after so many years of faithful attendance the Rabbi went to see him. He found him in excellent health, so the Rabbi asked, "How come after all these years we don't see you at services anymore?"The old man looked around and lowered his voice. "I'll tell you, Rabbi," he whispered. "When I got to be 90, I expected God to take me any day. But then I got to be 95, then 100, then 105. So I figured that God is very busy and must've forgotten about me, and I don't want to remind Him!"
