FIL: Ang tunog na likha ng baboy o katulad na hayop na parang sumisinghot nang malakas o umuungol.
EN: snorting (of a pig); grunt
You know that sound a pig makes? That's it. It's also the sound your tito might make after a really satisfying meal, right before he falls asleep on the sofa. A sound of animalistic contentment or exertion.
From "pag-" (gerund-forming prefix) + "hagak" (snort, grunt).
This is a very specific, onomatopoeic word.
