FIL: Isang uri ng halamang-ugat (Colocasia esculenta) na may malalaking dahon at nakakaing laman-ugat na ginagamit sa pagluluto, tulad ng sa sinigang o laing.
EN: taro
Not the time of day, but the root crop that makes sinigang extra creamy and is the star of the Bicolano dish, laing. It's the plant that gives you both the starchy, potato-like *laman* and the leaves for a spicy coconut milk dish. Careful though, it can be itchy (*makati*) if not prepared correctly, much like a toxic relationship.
Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *gabi.
Note the difference in pronunciation from "gabi" (night). Here, the stress is on the first syllable: /GA-bi/.
