Meaning of lahón

To roast corn on the cob over live coals. Lahoná or lánha ang maís. Roast the corn on the cob. Maís nga linahón. Corn roasted in the husks. Linahonán níya akó sing maís, kay nasáyran níya nga ginapasulabí ko ang maís nga linahón sa binóog kag tinanók. She roasted some corn on the cob for me, because she knew that I prefer it prepared in this way to the ordinary roasted or boiled corn. (see bóog, íhaw-to roast shucked corn; tanók-to boil in water corn, bananas, etc.).

To continue, go farther than intended, do moreover or besides, do something more, continue to work on some other job, etc. Ang túyò ko nga makádto sa Ogtóng lámang, ápang naglahón akó sa Ilóngílong. I had the intention of going only as far as Oton, but I went on to Iloilo. Ginlahón mo pa gid sang sadól ang isá ka báhin sang pamulákan? Did you really hoe over one more garden-plot? Kon matápus ang ímo buluhatón lahoní akó. When you have finished your work, assist me in mine. (see dáyon; N.B. The other lahón (to roast corn in the husks) is probably the same term and can be explained by the circumstance that it implies a continuous process, the corn being plucked and roasted at once without removing the husks).
