Usage Note
Iwagayway is the object-focus form of wagayway using the i- prefix, placing the flag or banner being waved as the grammatical focus. Strongly ceremonial in register — common in patriotic proclamations, hymns, and civic rhetoric — the i- prefix signals that the focus is on the thing wielded or moved, not the person doing the waving.
