EN: emptiness
It's what you feel when you open the fridge hoping for leftover adobo and find only a single, sad calamansi. Also describes a speech full of fancy words but says absolutely nothing, or that "empty" feeling after binge-watching a whole series.
From `ka-` (marker for abstract nouns) + `walang` ('without') + `laman` ('content', 'flesh'). Literally 'the state of being without content'.
Can be used literally (e.g., an empty box) or figuratively (e.g., an empty promise, an empty feeling).
