Tagalog giyera

    Borrowed from Philippine Spanish guierra (variant of Spanish guerra), from Early Medieval Latin werra, borrowed from Frankish *werru, from *werran + *-u. Compare 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.
