EN: mortar (for pounding)
The OG food processor. It's that giant wooden or stone bowl where your lola pounds rice or garlic with a huge pestle (halo). The sound of it is the provincial alarm clock. Before blenders and Magic Bullets, there was the mighty 'lubang'.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *lusuŋ.
Often paired with 'halo' (pestle). Not to be confused with 'lusong', which is a more common term for the same object.
