Salapi etymology

The article mentions "salapi" as coming from "sa" (Tagalog "isa") and "rupya". Except that Tagalog "isa" cannot be used without the "-ng" suffix e.g., "sampu" for the number 10 (Old Tagalog "isang pulu") and not sepuluh as in Malay. It is more likely that "salapi" comes from Indonesian "serupiah" or one rupiah, rather than a more linguistically complicated interfacing with Tagalog "isa". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4452:305:6600:5DDB:D6D3:D03:D491 (talk) 05:40, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
