juanga

== Ternate == === Etymology === Cognates include Tidore juanga, Sahu juangan, Loloda juangana, and Tabaru juangana. On this basis, a form like *juaŋan is reconstructible, likely to the Pre-Proto-Ternate-Tidore stage, from which it was borrowed into the other North Halmaheran languages. The term may ultimately come from a suffixed form of Old Javanese joṅ, especially if a form jwaṅ also existed. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /d͡ʒu.ˈa.ŋa/ === Noun === juanga the juanga, a large Ternatean warship, particularly associated with the Sultanate === References === Rika Hayami-Allen (2001), A descriptive study of the language of Ternate, the northern Moluccas, Indonesia, University of Pittsburgh
