Eugene Amano’s clothing line

Christian Cabuay — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 06:35:08 +0000

Filipino pro football paler Eugene Amano has is own clothing line “Amano Island Strength”. Check out the signature line from the myspace page. The Baybayin characters below are S-T-RE-NG-T-H. Kind of a strange transliteration in my opinion. Shouldn’t this be LA-KA or LA-KA-S?

Here’s probably what happened…..a search was made on google for “Alibata translator” and landed on the popular “Eagle’s corner”. Strength was typed in the translator using the modified version because using traditional would only return the “DA/RA” glyph.

Malakas = ME-LE-LE?

I don’t intend for this to become an “Alibata error” site but I feel that I need to post errors to educate. Here’s something I found for sale. It’s supposed to say Malakas (strong) but it actualy transliterates to ME/I-LE/I-KE/I. It shouldn’t have any kudlits. The proper traditional way would be MA-LA-KA. Not only is it erroneous, they also used Paul Morrow’s fonts for profit.

Arnos Self-Defense

I found this Arnis Self-Defense book on Ebay. Notice the kudlit under the NA character. Having a kudlit under it, would make it NO/NU. The correct way would be to have the kudlit above it to make it NE/NI.

Kali = Kana? Kala?

Found this photo on Flickr that’s supposed to say KA-LI (Filipino martial art) but it actually says KA-NA because instead of the the “L” character, it’s an “N”. Notice the difference between the two.

Let’s say it’s artistic license and the “L” and “N” characters just look alike, there’s still the issue of the missing kudlit above the “LA” glyph. Kali done correctly would look like this:

Filipino Alibata Katipunan Fitted T-Shirt

Christian Cabuay — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 05:58:16 +0000

I noticed this “Filipino Alibata Katipunan” being sold via CafePress. Couple problems with this shirt….1) It’s Baybayin, not Alibata. 2) The Katipunan used “KA”, not “KE” or “KI”. and 3) Isn’t brotherhood kapatiran?
