Sounds like it was spanishized quite a while ago though, and that the explorer/expedition name was in Spanish (Cabrillo) rather than Portuguese (Cabrilho).

I can see where the Spanish took it to ll and dropped the initial L sound. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Cabrillo On Apr 20, 2013, at 4:09 PM, Ken Patterson <dpriso...@dvillage.org> wrote: > > On Apr 19, 2013, at 6:31 PM, Glenn Glazer <glenn.gla...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> va-yay-ho is correct from when I learned Spanish.
