Not sure, but I know that SW Palawano (PLV) has <i>iraga?</i> and Malaysian and Indonesian have
<i>hilaga</i>. I have heard that cardinal directions came into Austronesian from other sources. Before that names of seasonal winds, up/down river, mountainward/seaward, etc., were all.

Hello,<br>
<br>
Does anyone happen to have any insight on the etymology of Tagalog<br>
*hilaga *'north'?<br>
I've consulted the ABVD, ACD, and Wolff (2010), but was not very successful<br>
in finding an answer.<br>
<br>
I see that the word for "north" in a number of Philippine are reflexes of<br>
PAn *qamiS, though the Tagalog reflex, *amihan*, refers to the north or<br>
northeast wind.<br>
<br>
I also see that Antonio Pigafetta noted that the word *iraga *'north<br>
wind' in his Malay word list.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Chris Sundita<br>
