:Hello, I'm sorry I dont really have any sources to tell you frankly, but the consistency of sound shifts between "gayuma" and "gugma" have lead me to think that there was such a prehistoric word. See, I am no professional linguist but I have been a huge nerd on historical linguistics for years and am quite knowledgeable on Philippine sound shifts. With that, I do not mean of course to coerce you to accept my "findings" and I do believe that more research has to be done to prove or disprove this. Also, I have to admit that I unintentially claimed the unattested word to be Proto-Malayo-Polynesian since I just copy pasted the template from other entries. Cheers!

== [[:Module:number list/data/ceb]] ==

When you removed "waláy" from this module, this caused module errors at {{m+|ceb|waláy}} and {{m|ceb|way}}. I removed {{tl|number box}} from "[[way]]" because it shouldn't be in entries for minor variants. For "[[walay]]", though, I don't know enough to fix it- so it's up to you.

In general, you should be careful when you change or remove spellings in such modules to check the entries for the spellings and fix them, and to watch [[:CAT:E]] for a day or two in case you missed one. No one else knows what you're doing, so cleaning up afterwards is your responsibility. [[User:Chuck Entz|Chuck Entz]] ([[User talk:Chuck Entz|talk]]) 16:25, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Gayuma

@JamesTor2egosa Besides Cebuano gugma, are there other words from the Austronesian family that can add support to your claim *gəʀ(u)ma? You initially claimed it to be Proto-Malayo-Polynesian as well. Do you have sources for this? Ysrael214 (talk) 20:27, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Module:number list/data/ceb

When you removed "waláy" from this module, this caused module errors at Cebuano waláy and way. I removed {{number box}} from "way" because it shouldn't be in entries for minor variants. For "walay", though, I don't know enough to fix it- so it's up to you.

In general, you should be careful when you change or remove spellings in such modules to check the entries for the spellings and fix them, and to watch CAT:E for a day or two in case you missed one.
