mamaya

Tagalog

Alternative forms

• mimiya — Cavite

Etymology

Possibly from the following:

• Initial reduplication of obsolescent root maya (“after a short period”).
• From mam- +‎ baya (“toleration”), according to Panganiban (1972).
• From Sanskrit समय (samaya) with the first syllable mistaken as the sa- prefix, then reduplication into maya-maya, then inflected as mamaya-maya, then underwent clipping, according to Pardo de Tavera (1887). Compare Javanese ꦱꦼꦩꦪ (semaya, “to postpone; to delay”), Old Javanese samaya, Indonesian semaya.

Pronunciation

• (Standard Tagalog) IPA^(key): /mamaˈjaʔ/ [mɐ.mɐˈjaʔ], /ˈmamajaʔ/ [ˈma.mɐ.jɐʔ]
• Rhymes: -aʔ, -amajaʔ
