"For instance in Tagalog, maligsí "agile" is pronounced maliksí, and this is
now the official spelling" Jean-Paul G. POTET, FRANCE

"If it is pronounced maliksi why would it ever be maligsi?" H. M. HUBEY

The term was recorded as <maligsí> in old dictionaries. The Spanish
lexicographers asked their informants to pronounce the terms slowly and
clearly.
