Talk:Kakristiyanuhan

Coined

@TagaSanPedroAko San Buenaventura recorded the term in his dictionary but does it automatically mean he coined it? What if it's someone else, like another friar? Or that was the term used by native converts and he just recorded the mostly used term Kakristiyanuhan? Ysrael214 (talk) 00:06, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

It's either one of them or both, but it's hard to tell. I'm just in a spree of tagging Tagalog coinages, most notably those by Eusebio Daluz. TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 00:11, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

@TagaSanPedroAko I own SB 1613 right now, nothing in the dictionary says that (unless ofc I can't read all Spanish terms fully) but probably better not to say Buenaventura coined the word for now. Although the term can be said as recorded as early as 1613 in his dictionary. For Daluz, well I'm not aware on that so I can't say anything about that lol.

Well, see the etymologies for terms like bansa and lungsod. I just created a reference template for the book where it originated: {{R:Filipino-English vocabulary}} (copy in the University of Michigan collection). TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 00:19, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

@TagaSanPedroAko For Daluz I guess it makes sense since we have previous references that these words don't exist in Tagalog vocabulary before but for SB 1613, I'm not sure. There's no earlier reference to compare it to. So if you don't mind, I removed the coined by Buenaventura for now. Ysrael214 (talk) 00:29, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Fine by me. TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 00:32, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
