== Gayuma ==

@[[User:JamesTor2egosa|JamesTor2egosa]] Besides {{ncog|ceb|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? [[User:Ysrael214|Ysrael214]] ([[User talk:Ysrael214|talk]]) 20:27, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

: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)

:Thank you for reminding me, and I will keep that in mind. [[User:JamesTor2egosa|JamesTor2egosa]] ([[User talk:JamesTor2egosa|talk]]) 03:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

== formatting messes ==

@[[User:Ysrael214|Ysrael214]] @[[User:TagaSanPedroAko|TagaSanPedroAko]]
Hi. You are making a mess of formatting and possibly making other mistakes.
# You moved the definitions of [[bayi]] to [[baye]], why? The Cebuano dictionaries I just consulted list the spelling of this term as ''bayi''. You identified ''bayi'' as "eye dialect" but this seems wrong.
# Although you moved the definitions, the quotes still say ''bayi''. That suggests ''bayi'' is maybe the correct spelling. If not, an explanation is needed.
# You deleted the pronunciation from ''bayi'' but left the hyphenation, which is strange.
# When creating multiple variants in a headword, it's wrong to list them comma-separated. You need to say e.g.
#: {{tl|ceb-noun|báye|head2=bayé}}

:@[[User:Benwing2|Benwing2]] @[[User:JamesTor2egosa|JamesTor2egosa]] I'm not knowledgeable in Cebuano so I may not be able to help much here but is it related to this [[Appendix:Cebuano spellings]]? <span style="color:#330005; font-size:1.65em; vertical-align:middle">𝄽</span> [[User:Ysrael214|ysrael214]] ([[User talk:Ysrael214|talk]]) 06:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
:Hello. Please excuse me for making any formatting mistake, it's really not what I'm best at. I would be glad to be corrected in any case. As for "''baye''", it follows the spelling suggested in [https://www.binisaya.com/node/21?search=binisaya&word=bayi&Search=Search Binisaya.com], and as adopted by Cebuano publications (see [[Appendix:Cebuano spellings]]) where allophonic [ji]~[jɪ]~[je] is spelled "''ye''" such as in "''babaye''" and "''dayeg''". This should make "''bayi''" a pronunciation spelling of "''baye''". As for the example spellings, I have to admit that I simply (mindlessly) forgot to change them. I deleted the IPA section of ''bayi'' for I thought it would be unnecessary in an entry for an alternative form.
