I'm working on it but this things is a mess. There are a few scholarly sources out there but I have to wait for August to read them on Jstor. Pretty much much all the stuff I can find out there in English and not in a journal is a straight up (and only occasionally attributed) copy and paste of whats here. Frustrating stuff.

So everything looks really good so far!! You have a really interesting topic and you seem to be enjoying it from the looks of it. I can see that you added some more information about your myth such as the history and some citations. Just add some more citations and maybe added more to some of the other sections and you should be good!!

Keep up the good work!

Removed "Asura", which was being claimed as the etymology. It is linguistically unlikely and an example of folk etymology due to superficial resemblance. The source used also does not support it. Actual linguistic sources like Blust & Trussel attribute it to an indigenous Greater Central Philippine origin.--~2026-36913-32 (talk) 15:32, 18 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
