Note 36 — Parts of Speech.
Reading edition
The name Calyarâ (native name of the town of Carigara, Leyte) has been probably originated from Cangara (placed of one called Garâ). A similar explanation might be given for the formation of the names Calbigà and Calbáyog (towns of Sámar).
Besides the particle can the pronoun hira was probably used for similar cases. We think that the word Hiraite (Bisayan name of the word Leyte, applied to a town of the island of the same name) is formed by the said pronoun hirá and Ite. probably the name of the ancient owners of that place. ↑
