FIL: Pinong-pinong mga partikulo ng lupa o iba pang bagay na umaalialigid sa hangin at namumuo sa mga ibabaw ng bagay.
EN: dust
That stuff that magically appears on your bookshelf two days after you cleaned it. It's the universe's way of telling you, "Nice try, but I'm still here." Also, the primary ingredient of a "maalikabok" na daan.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *qabuk.
Often used interchangeably with 'alikabok', but 'gabok' can refer to finer dust, while 'alikabok' often implies dust kicked up from the ground.
🇵🇭 Paki-punasan mo ang gabok sa ibabaw ng mesa.
