FIL: Ang mababa at nagbabantang tunog na ginagawa ng isang hayop, tulad ng aso, bilang babala.
EN: growl
"Angil" is the sound your aspin makes right before it decides your visitor's ankles look suspicious. It's the animal equivalent of "Subukan mo lang." Figuratively, it's the low, threatening tone your boss uses before asking why you were late again. It's a warning that something's about to go down.
Primarily used for animals, but can be used figuratively for humans showing anger. The verb form is 'umangil' (to growl).
