Haven't heard of "layaw" in Legazpeño for clay.

Laboy and lugta are used interchangeably for "clay," while dugî is mire.

I see. Thanks!

laboy

there are varieties.
i don't think layáw is spoken in naga. 'laboy' is generally used.

this is clay in general. the word 'clay' may mean: 1. soil used for pottery, or 2. sticky fine-grained kind of soil

naga: labóy, lápok, dalnák (variety of clay)
rinconada: lamód

See mud for laboy. Thanks for the input.

iyo, irvin. even the potters of sta. lucia, magarao or madinahong, libmanan, don't use 'layaw' for clay. it's laboy, or just plain daga. ive also heard them use lapok and dalnak, when referring to varieties of clay to use. i often mingle with them because i'm also a clay pottery hobbyist :D

What is layaw to you? We call it layaw, and mud laboy (Tl. putik). Dalnak (Tl. burak?) is more of a kind of mud not clay. Waaa
