*hadi 'finish, stop, rest'

Philippines
Tausug hali 'rest'

Barrier Islands-Batak
Toba mar-adi 'rest'
Mentawai mu-ari 'stop, rest'

Celebic: Bungku-Tolaki
Bungku, Moronene, Kulisusu, Tolaki ari
Mori Bawah, Padoe, Wawonii um-ari
(Proto Bungku-Tolaki *ari 'finish; already', Mead 1998)

Other
Old Javanese um-ari 'finish, stop'
Makassarese amm-ari 'finish, stop' 

Maybe Usup's Proto-Gorontalo-Mongondow *gogaRi also belongs here. It could be from *mog-aRi with metanalysis and reduplication.

Hi, Erik!

  I’m doing as fine as can be expected. My kidney function went down from 40% (3 years ago) to 20%, and I had a period of high blood pressure with extreme headaches about 2 months ago. All that is fortunately behind me now.  I am working on a paper for the UP Linguistics 14th Philippine Linguistics Congress. It will be delivered on August 24th. I am attaching my most recent draft copy for you. If you have any time to read and comment on it, I would be so happy to get feedback from you. I’m glad you wrote, as I should have thought of sending it to you when I completed the first draft. I’ve heard from Reid and Blust already. As to an appropriate reference to my ZDS see the very last entry in the attached document.

  I have just been using the abbreviation “ZDS” for Zorc Data Sheets. By the way, I have put up a completely revised set at <zorc.net>:
                zorc.net - /RDZorc/PHILIPPINE-ETYMA/
There is a brand new ZIP file within
            zorc.net - /RDZorc/PHILIPPINE-ETYMA/ZIP-MASTER/
If you do download, I would suggest overwriting the old version, but only after the unzipping proves successful.

  The Tausug form is in the Hassan, Ashley & Ashley (1994) Tausug-English Dictionary: Kabtangan Iban Maana on page 160 glossed as <hali> n. ‘rest’. I followed Reid in adding a final –h because Tausug, like Tagalog, does not distinguish between a PPH *-h and PPH *-Ø (zero), adding an –h- before all suffixes. It does, of course, generally preserve both *q and *ʔ.

  The Hanunoo form is actually from Conklin (1953) p. 134: háriʔ ‘rest, stop, pause; taking a break’ (along with h<um>áriʔ and magpaháriʔ). The final glottal may be indicative of a loan.

  I agree that the Bontok forms for ‘forbid’ are too semantically distant to make sense, plus the glottal cluster in the alternate complicates things.

  Thanks to your present email, I have changed PPH to GCP (see Blust’s paper on Greater Central Philippine, the highest possible correct node for Tausug and Hanunoo). Because of the difference between Tausug <h> and Hanunoo <ʔ>, Mahdi would call this a “maverick”. The only thing that would “save” this etymology is YOUR far more solid data. I would call it PHN (Proto-Hesperonesian), and, of course, it would be PWMP in the ACD. There is at present no citation for this, so you have a good one to your name, Erik. Here is how the revised entry reads in my ZDS: {hadi[GCP-PHN-Zobel]'stop~rest_from_work'=ZDS.jpg}.

  I hope this helps. I’m so glad to hear from you.

Cheers!  David
