do you know anyone skilled in the art of the ancient , pre spaniard invasion, Babayan (alibata) language?

I am trying to get a tatt, for me and the wife, and i am pretty sure we are getting I Promise You, which is Sumpa Kita (spelling, sorry SHES the filipino, not me )

but here is a pic of the translation, my question is this....DOES it affect the meaning if its horizontal, or vertical?

thanks in advance...

hmmm...i though "sumpa kita" meant "curse you"?..might be the different dialect, cause i know in Tagalog that's what it means..

"I promise you" would be more like "Pangako Sa 'yo", like the TV Series hehe

i see that too, but its also a vow to you, or, i promise you

ill 2 chk w the wifes momma tho, cause shes 100 percent filipino im pretty sure shes the one that said it tho...good lookin out tho dawg....

"sumpa ko sa iyo" means "my promise to you"... i think that will work better...
