From Hokkien? edit

@Mar vin kaiser Could you check the etymology for the Cebuano (and Tagalog) entry? The -ng makes it seem unlikely to be from Hokkien. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 00:51, 25 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Justinrleung: Yup, this is not from Hokkien, but from modern sources. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 11:39, 25 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Justinrleung: Likely that this came from English or Spanish. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 12:48, 25 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Mar vin kaiser: Thanks! I've changed it to "ultimately from Chinese" for now, but feel free to make any changes to the etymology if you're confident that English/Spanish may be the source. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 14:52, 25 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
