RE: False Friends among Philippine Languages

tinzkijc, yes, it's true that the Tagalog langgam or ant means bird in Cebuano, but I don't think that the Tagalog ibon or bird means ant in Cebuano... Ant in Cebuano is lamigas...

Anyways 15 more words are added on the list:
bugas, bulong, hawa, kabo, kanduli, laswa, laya, luglog, panakot, pilas, puli, sakop, subay, tuon
