Tagalog has a few words with a final -iw: sisiw - chick baliw - insane, mad daniw - custom giliw - affection, fondness magiliw - friendly (the adjectival form of giliw, of course) pag-aaliw - pleasure Hiligaynon has final -iw in the following: bidyiw - spear, harpoon paksiw - dish of meat cooked with vinegar -- And when you saw it all come, it was waving the flag Of the united states of calamity, hey!
