IPA: /ˈɡwei/ (note: spelling pronunciation), [ˈɡwei̯] (note: spelling pronunciation), /ˈw̝ei/ [colloquial], [ˈw̝ei̯] [colloquial] Forms: güeyes [plural]
Rhymes: -ei Etymology: Nonstandard pronunciation-spelling variant of buey (literally “ox”) (see that entry for more); this form thus represents a deshifting of /bw/ back to /ɡw/. Compare nonstandard güeno from bueno (“good”), agüelo from abuelo (“grandfather”), güelvo from vuelvo (“to return”), where /bwe/ becomes /ɡwe/.
