EN: long scratch, abrasion; a type of snake
Can mean two things. First, the battle scar you get from your cat when you try to give it a bath (Meaning 1). Second, the actual animal that might give you a scratch or worse, a bite (Meaning 2). So you can get a **halas** from a **halas**. Meta.
The primary meaning in most conversations refers to a scratch or laceration. The meaning as a snake is less common and may be regional.
