EN: thicket; dense undergrowth
This is the part of the forest in horror movies you're not supposed to go into. A **dawag** is a jungle of thorny vines and tangled plants, the kind of place where duwendes and engkantos supposedly hang out. It’s the natural version of the mess in your 'bodega' or that one 'tambak' corner of your room.
Proto-Philippine, from Proto-Austronesian.
Evokes a sense of wildness, impenetrability, and getting lost.
