THE MEANING & THE CONTEXT
The story behind Kahayag
Kahayag appears in the ka- noun formation under háyag. Wolff distinguishes literal light and brightness from the related sense of a bright facial expression, so the inspiration does not need an invented spiritual translation.
A word, offered as inspiration. The dictionary supports its meaning; it does not establish use as a given name, a gender, or a popularity ranking.
