Note

Also Itbayaten ootaŋ ‘debt, obligation’, Kalamian Tagbanwa utaŋ ‘debt’, Tboli utoŋ ‘credit’, m-utoŋ ‘give credit’. Despite the abundant supporting evidence which I have cited, this item remains in certain respects highly problematic. In a number of the languages of the northern Philippines it is explicitly marked as a loan from Tagalog or Ilokano, and in a number of the languages of Indonesia it is explicitly marked as a loan from Malay.

These explicit lexicographic statements (which presumably reflect native speaker reactions) are further strengthened by phonological irregularities in such languages as Kalamian Tagbanwa and Tboli, and by the fact that this word refers most commonly to the borrowing of money rather than of objects to be returned either themselves or in kind.

On the other hand, the word is richly attested in the Philippines and western Indonesia, and a number of apparently non-borrowed affixed forms can be reconstructed for PWMP. Based on the evidence now available I see no choice but to accept *qutaŋ as native (perhaps only to certain WMP languages), although its precise meaning remains to be determined.
