frightened by the extortions imposed in Manila--it is difficult to

NOTES

[1] The Mindanayans are the Mindanaos or Maguindanaos, the Hilanoones
are the Ilanos; the Sologues cannot well be identified. "Alfoores"
is a corruption of the Portuguese "Alforas," which is derived from the
Arabic "al" and the preposition "fora" without. The term was applied
by the Portuguese to all natives beyond their authority, and hence
to the wild tribes of the interior. See Crawfurd's Dictionary, p. 10.

[2] Apparently referring, if one may trust to Dampier's points of
compass, to the region about Dapitan, as the Indians of that quarter
were among the first subdued by the Spaniards in Mindanao.

[3] The Tagalog word for "banana" is "saguing," which is thus almost
identical with the Mindanaon term as reported phonetically by Dampier.

[4] Cf. Dyak pangan ("kinsman, comrade, or fellow"), also panggal
("pillow"), and panggan ("bedstead"); see Ling Roth's Natives
of Sarawak, ii, p. xxvii. See Porter's Primer and Vocabulary of
Moro Dialect (Washington, 1903) p. 65, where the Moro phrase for
"sweetheart" is given as babay ("woman") a magan pangaluman.

[5] Corralat had two sons, Tiroley and Uadin, but they died young
(see Retana's edition of Combes's Hist. Mindanao, col. 738, 739). The
"sultan" mentioned by Dampier is probably the Curay who in 1701
fought a sort of duel with the sultan of Jolo, in which both were
killed. (Concepcion, Hist. de Philipinas, viii, pp. 301, 302.)
