cayo = islet

cayo means: he fell : acording to the dict. at this site so seems both words are used intechangably? or what? - faliron, Apr 11, 2011
No, "cayo" has the stress on the first O, and it means islet; cayó has the stress on the second O. Both words are not related in any way. - lazarus1907, Apr 11, 2011
Writing "cayo" to mean "fell" is an orthographic mistake, similar to writing "hotel" without the H. - lazarus1907, Apr 11, 2011
so a correction needed at this site!!!! - faliron, Apr 11, 2011
Where? - lorenzo9, Apr 11, 2011
the dictionary in this site because it says "cayo :he fell " then islet,key etc , - faliron, Apr 11, 2011
