-on - A suffix very frequently used in
Visayan to form:

ondô-óndò – orobráhon
1) adjectives, e.g. kibúlon, kíblon from
kíbul; dugoón from dugô, etc. maluyagón
from lúyag; matinahúron from táhud, etc.
(cf. ma—,—in—).
2) nouns, e.g. kapisanón from písan;
kalaparón from lápad, etc. etc. N.B. The
difference between the simple ka—forms
and the ka——on—forms lies in this that
the former denote abstract nouns and can
be used also for the formation of an
exclamatory superlative that corresponds
in meaning to the English "How——!”,
whilst the latter denote nouns in the
concrete or as applied to a particular case,
e.g. Kalápad siníng palangúmhan! How
large this farm is! Ang kalaparón siníng
palangúmhan kapín sa tátlo ka ektárea.
The size (extent) of this farm is more than
three hectares. (cf. ka—,—an).
3) the so-called (future) passive in—on.
Generally speaking the passive in—on is
used with verbs that denote a direct action
on an object, an action that produces some
change on, or modifies, the object, e.g.
búhat (to make); hímò (to do); hímos (to
prepare, get ready); dágdag (to drop, let
fall); hákwat (to lift up); útud (to sever);
bíal (to split); gulút (to cut); támpà (to
slap); súmbag (to box); gísì (to tear); tábug
(to drive away), etc. etc. (cf.—an, i—).
4) In connection with denominations of
money—on adds the meaning: of the value
of, a coin (banknote, bill, etc.) of the value
of, e.g. diesón—a ten-centavo coin;
pisitasón—a twenty-centavo piece;
pisosón—coin (note) of the value of a peso,
