EN: termite
That silent little destroyer that eats your house from the inside out. Also a perfect metaphor for that 'friend' who slowly ruins your reputation with backstabbing comments. 'Uy, parang may anay sa relationship niyo, unti-unting nasisira.'
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *anay.
Can be used metaphorically to refer to a traitor or something that causes slow, internal destruction.
