EN: sickle; scythe
This is the OG tool of the Filipino farmer, long before tractors were a thing. It's also the favorite accessory of Kamatayan (the Grim Reaper) in local folklore. Think of it as a handheld, curved blade for cutting tall grass or harvesting rice. It's got that "I'm here to work the fields... or collect your soul" vibe.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *kari-t (to scrape, scratch).
Often associated with farming, harvesting, or rural life.
