EN: Race, lineage, ancestry, breed
It's your bloodline, your heritage, what makes you say "Pinoy Pride!" It's why your lola insists you have a "matangos na ilong" from your Spanish ancestor or why your dog is an "askal" (asong kalye) instead of a purebred. It's the source of both pride ("lahi ng mga bayani") and sometimes, silly family myths.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *laqi, meaning 'male, man', which shifted to mean 'offspring, lineage'.
Can refer to the human race, a specific ethnicity, or the breed of an animal.
