Dilì ákon iní nga páhò or Iní nga páhò dílì ákon. This mango is not mine, does not belong to me. 3) in the meaning of a personal pronoun with the preposition “s”, “ákon” is used exclusively and never “nákon” or “ko” e.g. Ginhátag níya inâ sa ákon.

This was done by me. Sa waláy duhádúha ákon siá pagaduáwon. Of course, he will be visited by me i.e. I will pay him a visit. Dílì balá matúod nga ákon siá nabayáran? Isn’t it true, that he was paid by me i.e. that I paid him? “Nákon” and “ko”, if employed in such sentences, take their place invariably after the verb: Ginbúhat ko (nákon) iní. Sa ualáy duhádúha pagaduáwon ko (nákon) siá. ákon – aláb-ab Dílì balá matúod nga nabayáran ko (nákon) siá? But if the verb is negatived “ákon” cannot be used; “nákon” or “ko” must then be employed and be placed between the negative adverb and the verb: Walâ ko (nákon) pagbuháta iní. This was not done by me. Dílì ko (nákon) malipatán iní. I cannot forget it. Indì ko (nákon) malíngkang iníng bató, kay mabúg-at gid. I cannot move this stone, for it is very heavy. Indì pa nákon (índì ko pa) mapúyan ang bág-o ko nga baláy, kay walâ ko pa (ualâ pa nákon) pagbutangí sing mga galamitón nga kinahánglan.

e ~~~ The Visayan language has a vowel-sound that is neither that of Spanish “e” nor of Spanish “i”, but occupies a position somewhere between the two. Consequently this sound is represented sometimes by “e” and sometimes by “i”, even in spelling the same word, e.g. babáye, babáe, babáyi, babái; bebíngka, bibíngka; bígne, bígni, etc. In choosing between the two vowels “i” has a better claim to recognition than “e”, for the following reasons:— 1) The full open sound of “e” is never heard in Visayan, whereas “i” is often very clearly and sharply pronounced. 2) Whilst it is true that in many words the sound, of which we have spoken, is vague, yet as a rule it approaches “i” more nearly than “e”. The conclusion is that “i” can always be used, and that “e” might without loss be abolished from the Visayan Alphabet. The following words under “e” are given, because, although they are of Spanish origin, yet they are frequently used in Visayan.

j ~~~ The soft Visayan aspirate is best represented by the letter “H” pronounced as in English. Therefore the letter “J” can be dispensed with in writing Visayan, even when Spanish words occur, such as:—Jesucristo, José, alhajas, etc., which are spelled:—Hesukrísto, Hosé, aláhas, etc.

k ~~~ This letter has the same sound as the English “c” in “cat, come, cut, fact, etc.”, but is pronounced a little softer than “ck” in “lack, pack, struck, etc.”. Modern writers almost exclusively employ “k”, where formerly “c” (before “a”, “o”, “u”, all consonants and hyphens, and at the end of words) and “qu” (before “e” and “i”) were used. Bearing this in mind it is easy to find in this dictionary expressions originally written according to the old spelling, as acó, caácò, catacá, cácac, bác-hò, bác-it, báquid, quíquic, etc., under akó, kaákò, kataká, kákak, bákhò, bák-it, bákid, kíkik, etc. The prefixes pan-, hi-, ha-, etc., if composed with words beginning with the letter “k”, become pang—, hing—, hang—, etc. and the “k” drops out, e.g. karós— pangarós; kaláyo—hingaláyo; kuyús— hanguyús, etc.

ka ~~~ A particle employed to connect a cardinal or ordinal numeral with a noun or with another numeral. “Ka” is also used after distributives, and after the indefinite “pilá”, whenever the latter has the meaning of “how many” or “few”, e.g. Duhá ka púlò ka líbo. Twenty thousand. Tátlo ka gatús ka líbo kà táo. Three hundred thousand men. Limá ka karabáw. Five buffaloes. Amó iní ang ikapúlò níla ka anák. This is their tenth child. Sa ikawaló ka (nga) ádlaw sa búlan sa Enéro. On the eighth day of January. Pilá silá ka táo? How many are they? Mga pilá lámang ka táo ang nagtalámbong. Only a few men attended. Nakabáton silá sing tagnapúlò ka mángmang. They received ten pesos each.

ka ~~~ (H) Personal pronoun, often used for ikáw—you (singular). Sín-o ka balá? Who are you? Diín ka makádto? Where are you going to? Ginbayáran ka na níya sang íya útang sa ímo? Has he paid you what he owed you?

ka- ~~~ Short for maka- or naka-. Indì akó kakádto dídto. I cannot go there. (kakádto—makakádto). Kaabút (nakaabút) na siá dirí? Has he arrived? Has he come?

ka- ~~~ A prefix of very wide use in the formation of abstract and collective nouns as well as of an exclamatory superlative which nearly corresponds in meaning to the English “How——!” e.g. álam—kaálam (wisdom, learning); písan—kapísan (diligence, application); píntas—kapíntas (cruelty); ángot—kaangtánan (connection); lábut—kalabtánan (participation, implication); uyáng— kahinguyángan (outlay, expenditure); bátà—kabatáan (childhood; children); baláy—kabalayán (houses, collection of houses); támad—katámad sa ímo! How lazy you are! Dásig—kadásig siníng kabáyo! How swiftly this horse runs! gáhud, galúng—kagáhud kag kagalúng sináng mga bátà! Oh, the noisiness and boisterousness of those children! lisúd—ay, kalisúd! Oh, what a heavy cross! After superlative adverbs like lakás, lám-ag, dúro, masyádo, támà, túman, etc. “ka” is either prefixed to the adjectives or takes the place of ma-, e.g. Dalók—greedy. Lakás kadalók. Very greedy. Layâ—dry. Masyádo kalayâ. Very dry. Maitúm—black. Lám-ag kaitúm. Very black. Madálum—deep. Dúro kadálum. Very deep. Matámbok—fat. Támà katámbok. Very fat. Dakû—large. Túman kadakû. Very large, etc.

ka- ~~~ In modern Visayan ka- is quite frequently used instead of pagka- in the formation of abstract nouns from “maadjectives”, e.g. kamatinoóhon (pagkamatinoóhon)—faith, credulity; kamatinahóron (pagkamatinahóron)— respectfulness, and many more.
