The etymologies of the Filipinisms in the DLE cataloged as “del bisayo” or “de origen filipino”

Abstract

This article continues a project to review the etymologies of the loanwords of the East Asian languages of the Dictionary of the Spanish Language. In each of the articles of this project, the coherence of the ascriptions that appear in the etymological glosses of the DLE is investigated; Subsequently, it is checked whether the forms proposed in the Dictionary are also coherent with the current theory of the linguistic history of the different families —Austronesian, in this article— and, finally, in cases in which such coherence does not exist, new etymological ascriptions, forms or glosses for those forms are proposed. The intention of the project is to outline a guide that will facilitate the work of the lexicographer when developing etymologies, both for the DLE and for historical dictionaries.
