Cebuano

Alternative forms

• duna — clipping
• ad-on — dialectal
• adunay, dunay — with indefinite subject

Etymology

Dialectal ad-on points to an original *adaʔún, wherein the middle vowel was elided regularly before a stressed syllable; the first element could be compared with Ilocano adda (“to have”), Malay ada (“to be, have”) and their cognate Cebuano word wala (“there is not”); suffixed with -on. The final "-a" is a common feature among the existential verbs adia, ania, anaa, atua.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ʔaˈduna/ [ʔɐˈd̪u.n̪ɐ]
