Keep the language attached to the word

The Philippines has many languages. A word should not automatically be called Tagalog just because it appears on a Filipino baby-name list. Our profiles retain the language information in the consulted dictionary. For example, Diksiyonaryo.ph identifies hiraya as a Cebuano variant of haraya; that is more precise than presenting it as a universally Tagalog word.

Word meaning and name usage are different evidence

A dictionary can establish a word sense. It does not establish how many people have that name, whether a community traditionally uses it for children, or whether it belongs to a particular gender. Word-name inspiration pages explain the word and label the suggestion clearly. They do not carry invented popularity badges.

Small spelling details can change the sense

Accent marks and stress can distinguish words that look alike without diacritics. Diksiyonaryo.ph separates talà, a star sense, from talâ, a note or record sense. Keep that distinction when discussing a meaning, and ask a knowledgeable speaker about actual pronunciation rather than relying on an invented phonetic guide.
