Borrowed from Surigaonon wayo, from Proto-Bisayan *walu, from Proto-Central Philippine *walu, from Proto-Philippine *walu, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *walu, from Proto-Austronesian *walu. The expected reflex in Tandaganon of Proto-Bisayan *walu is *wawo (cf. Boholano Cebuano wawo and Butuanon wawo), but the form in Surigaonon is used instead.
