EN: palate (of the mouth)
This is that part of your mouth you burn with scorching hot pizza or a fresh-from-the-pan lumpia. It's literally your "little sky" inside your mouth. You don't notice it until you've scalded it, and then it's all you can think about for three days.
From 'langit' (sky) + '-an' with reduplication, meaning 'false sky' or 'imitation sky'.
ROOT MEANING: sky; heaven
