alaya
Kapampangan
editEtymology
editFrom Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *daya, from Proto-Austronesian *daya (“upriver, toward the interior”). Compare Ilocano daya (“east”), Isnag mandaya (“upstream”), Batad Ifugao Dāya (“heaven”), Tagalog ilaya (“north”), Bikol Central iraya (“upstream; inland”), Masbatenyo iraya (“upstream; hinerland”), Cebuano ilaya (“area away from the coast or town”), Waray-Waray iraya (“farm”), Maranao raya (“upriver”), Kelabit dayeh (“upriver”), Malay barat daya (“southwest”), and Sangir dala (“interior”). From the view of the people living on the southern Kapampangan towns, the upstream of the Pampanga River seems to be coming from Mount Arayat or locally known as Bunduk Alaya. The sense “east” came from Kapampangan mythology where Apung Sinukuan, the god of the sun, is said to live on the mountain.
