relos

== English == === Noun === relos plural of relo === Anagrams === lores, Roels, loser, Roles, soler, sorel, slore, roles, Sorel, orles, Soler, rôles, eorls, Loser, lo-res, Leros, Rosel, Osler == Tagalog == === Alternative forms === rilos === Etymology === An early borrowing from Spanish reloj (“clock, watch, timepiece”). Compare Tausug lilus. Doublet of relo. While the shift from ⟨j⟩, pronounced /ʃ/ in Early Modern Spanish, of the final letter to Tagalog /s/ was expected, the retention of the initial /r/ is irregular, as very early Spanish loanwords more often corresponds to Tagalog /d/ or /l/, as in *dilos or *lilos. This may suggest a transitional borrowing, occurring late enough to preserve /r/ but early enough to reflect variation in the realization of final ⟨j⟩. Even into the 19th century, Spanish maintained variating forms such as in Spanish relox. === Pronunciation === (Standard Tagalog) IPA(key): /ɾeˈlos/ [ɾɛˈlos] Rhymes: -os Syllabification: re‧los === Noun === relós (Baybayin spelling ᜇᜒᜎᜓᜐ᜔) alternative form of relo === Further reading === Potet, Jean-Paul G.
