bunga
The intertwining relationship of dialects is demonstrated in the Indonesian word for flower which is bunga. When I was learning the language 14 years ago, I always get confused with bunga and buah (pronounced bu-wa) which means fruit. You see, in Cebuano, fruit is bunga while flower is buwak. Somewhere, sometime, during the centuries of direct contact between the archipelagos that are now the Philippines and Indonesia, words mix, jumble and blend.
