Errata

In the paper "Directional systems in Philippine languages," by Maria Kristina S. Gallego, published in Oceanic Linguistics 57(1):63–100, June 2018, some errors too late for correction in that issue have been found.

p. 77: In section 3.3, paragraph 4, lines 6–7, the sentence "As a cardinal direction, PAn *qamiS developed to mean 'north' in some Philippine languages since the path of the sun is typically more salient in this domain" should read "As a cardinal direction, PAn *qamiS has developed to mean 'north' in some Philippine languages. No language was found in which the term developed as 'east' since the path of the sun is typically more salient in this domain."

p. 89: Paragraph 2: After the publication of the manuscript, I have visited Orchid Island, Taiwan, and have met some speakers of Yami. I have found out that the direction term varogan/valogan in the Batanic languages originally traces its etymology to 'the place where the sun rises', which is retained in Yami (or at least in Iranumilek, a dialect of the language). It has then developed as a cardinal direction, used in Itbayat and Iraralay as varogan, and in Ivasay as valogan, encoding 'east'. Vocabulario Ibatan-Español (1933) gives the meaning 'eastern part/coast of a town', and the term is also used as a place name, as in Valugan Beach located east of Batan Island, and Balugan, an archaic name of a town located on the eastern part of Babuyan Claro.

p. 93: Appendix 1. In the published data sources, change Cebuano: Headland and Headland (1974), Hairul and Khan (1986) to:

Casiguran Dumagat         Headland and Headland (1974)

Cebuano        Cabonce (1983)

pp. 95–96: Appendix 3: Typology of cardinal directions in Philippine languages, change the tag for Itbayat varogan, Ivasay valogan, and Iraralay varogan from env to sun.
