"Puyung-Puyung" is a word in HILIGAYNON
puyúng-púyung - Blindman’s buff,
Blind Harry; to play hide and seek. (cf.
butábúta).
q, In the reformed spelling of Visayan "k” is
used instead of "q” or rather instead of
"qu”, for the two always go together.
Therefore Visayan words in "qu” must be
looked for under "k”, e.g. quilícot, quíquic,
etc. will be found under "k” spelt kilíkot,
kíkik, etc. (cf. remarks on letters "c” and
"k”).
r, The letter "r” in Visayan is pronounced
as in English. Many words that have "l” in
Hiligáynon have "r” in Hinaráya and
others that have "r” in Hiligáynon have "d”
in Hinaráya, e.g. walâ, warâ; laláng,
raráng; dulupláan, durupráan; bag-óran,
bag-ódan; kalaparón, kalapadón, etc.
I remember my first 'Sports Illustrated' shoot was with the photographer Walter Iooss, and Julie Campbell was the editor, and we were at the president of Mexico's private house in Cancun - this was before anything else that's now in Cancun even existed. And they told me to get a tan, so I spent all morning in the sun, and I was burnt.
