EN: to cluck (like a chicken); to grumble (stomach)
This word has two vibes. First, it’s the sound a happy, broody chicken makes. Second, and more relatable, it's the sound your stomach makes in a quiet room during a meeting when you skipped breakfast. That embarrassing, low rumble that announces to everyone, "Gutom na ako!"
From "kurok" (cluck, grumble).
Context is key to distinguish between the chicken and the stomach meaning. The stomach meaning is more common in everyday urban conversation.
