Tausug Saro

The article mentions the phrase "Saro - are the salakot of the Tausug people". But linguistically the Tausug language only has three vowels: a, i, and u. So the word Saro could not exist in the Tausug phonology. I hypothesized that the correct spelling should be Saru. I double checked my Tausug resources and found that the word for hat is Saruk with the final k usually pronounced as a glottal stop. Furthermore, the Tausug Saruk is a generic word for "hat" and does not specifically refer to the Salakot.

salakot

Salakót is a traditional lightweight headgear from the Philippines used for protection against the sun and rain. They are usually dome-shaped or cone-shaped and can range in size from having very wide brims to being almost helmet-like. 2001:4455:130:8500:AD28:5AA2:BC41:3EDA (talk) 05:38, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
