Dayan = female. arnisador 01-01-2002, 11:51 PM Originally posted by Palusut Lakan = male. Dayan = female. I know that lakan is used for males and dayan is used for females, but do you mean that being a lakan isa actually translates to being a "male one"? I didn't expect that lakan meant "black belt" but I was expecting something a bit more! Thanks for the information.
