FIL: Isang butas sa lupa na resulta ng paghuhukay, na maaaring gamitin bilang libingan, pundasyon, o para sa ibang layunin.
EN: pit, excavation, grave
This is the hole you dig, literally. Sometimes it's for planting a tree, sometimes for building a house foundation. Other times, it's a grave, which is why people say "isang paa mo nasa hukay" (one of your feet is in the grave) when you're being reckless or are very old. It's the OG 'digging yourself into a hole'.
Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *hukay.
Can refer to any hole dug in the ground, but often carries a somber connotation of a grave.
