giyera

== Tagalog == === Alternative forms === gera giera, gira — obsolete guierra, guiera, guerra — obsolete, Spanish-based spelling === Etymology === Borrowed from Philippine Spanish guierra, from Spanish guerra, from Early Medieval Latin werra, borrowed from Frankish *werʀu, from Proto-West Germanic *werʀan + *-u. Compare Cebuano gira and Ilocano gierra. The insertion of /j/ glide (⟨-i-⟩ / ⟨-iy-⟩) after /ɡ/, in Philippine Spanish is possibly due to palatalization of /ɡ/ before front vowel /e/ in some Spanish dialects. Compare Chilean Spanish guierra, Aragonese guierra, and Istriot guiera. === Pronunciation === (Standard Tagalog) IPA(key): /ɡiˈeɾa/ [ˈɡjɛː.ɾɐ] Rhymes: -eɾa Syllabification: gi‧ye‧ra === Noun === giyera (Baybayin spelling ᜄᜒᜌᜒᜇ) war Synonyms: digmaan, (obsolete) gubat ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== See also ==== baka === Further reading === “giyera”, in KWF Diksiyonaryo ng Wikang Filipino, Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino, 2025 “giyera”, in Pambansang Diksiyonaryo | Diksiyonaryo.ph, 2018 San Buena Ventura, Fr.
