Note

Also Cebuano laŋuʔ ‘dizzy due to poisoning; drunk (slang)’, Maranao laŋot ‘dizzy, dizziness’. Mills (1981) posits "Proto-Indonesian" *laŋu(ho) ‘nausea, nauseating’, but cites cognates only from WMP languages. The present etymon is possibly identical with *laŋu ‘unpleasant taste’ in Blust (1970). For a semantic parallel with a different root, compare Samoan ʔona ‘poisonous’, ʔo-ʔona ‘sour, bitter; (of drink) strong’, Hawaiian ʔona ‘drunk, dizzy and unsteady, intoxicated’; note also the etymology of intoxicated.
