FIL: Isang uri ng artropod na may mahabang katawan na binubuo ng maraming bahagi, at bawat bahagi ay may isang pares ng paa.
EN: centipede
The stuff of nightmares. That creepy crawly with a million legs (okay, not a million, but it feels like it) that makes you jump on a chair and scream. Seeing a *guyaman* in your bathroom is a universal Filipino experience that triggers a frantic search for the nearest *tsinelas* or bug spray. Also known as *alupihan*.
Synonymous with 'alupihan', which is more common in many regions.
