Jailolo

Ternate

Etymology

Cognate to Sahu Jaiḏolo, which likely indicates the Ternate term isn't native (a *Jaidolo would be expected); perhaps borrowed from Tidore or the former language of Jailolo. May further be cognate to Galela dailolo (“ovary”) or Tabaru jailolo (“sago-holder”), itself nonnative.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /d͡ʒa.i.ˈlo.lo/

Proper noun

Jailolo (Jawi جيلول)

    1. the town of Jailolo
    2. the sultanate of Jailolo
