EN: anthill, ant's nest
The original underground society. It's that little mound of dirt you accidentally step on, unleashing an army of tiny, angry tenants. A complex subway system and residential area for ants, proving they're better at city planning and teamwork than most humans.
From "bahay" (house) + "langgam" (ant).
ROOT MEANING: ant
Often used interchangeably with "punso," although "punso" can also refer to a termite mound and has superstitious connotations ("tabi-tabi po").
