Collection of Uncommon Cebuano Words
Note: These were scribbles from Manny's files that I thought I'd share
with you. If there are any errors, it would be because I could not read my Dad's
writing. The last entry did not have the English translation so if you know what
it is, kindly email me, I thank you in advance, Cheers. Amapola
