EN: shred; strip
Think of what a paper shredder produces. Those are 'gayas'. It's what's left of old love letters when you're in your 'move on' phase. Also, the strips of banana leaves used for certain kakanin. It’s a more destructive, strippy version of 'punit' (tear).
Often seen in its verb form 'gayasín' (to shred something). As a noun, it refers to the resulting strips.
