FIL: Isang mahabang piraso ng kahoy na may lapad na dulo, ginagamit upang itulak ang tubig at paandarin ang isang bangka.
EN: oar, paddle
The manual engine of a small boat. Before outboard motors, this was your arm day at the gym. It's the thing you use to move your bangka across the river, or what you threaten your lazy kasama with if they don't help paddle. 'Sagwan' is a more common term, but gaod is the classic.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *gaud.
'Sagwan' is a more common synonym. 'Gaod' can also be used as a verb (gumagaod - paddling).
🇵🇭 Nawala ang isang gaod kaya paikot-ikot na lang ang aming bangka.
🇺🇸 One oar was lost, so our boat was just going in circles.
