RAINA. Chamorro name derived from the vocabulary word
ráina, meaning
"queen."
un ráina,
a queen. (Preissig)
Originally there was no
indefinite article in Chamorro. In the modern vernacular in places
where it would be used in English the Spanish un takes its place.
This word is invariable and is used with both masculine and feminine
nouns: un lahe, a man; un palaoan, a
woman; un patgon, a child; un raina, a
queen. (A.A.A.)
