EN: scraper; something used for scrubbing
Your lola's secret weapon against a dirty 'kawali'. It could be the 'bunot' (coconut husk) for the floor, the steel wool for the pot, or even a 'bato' (pumice stone) for your 'kalyo'. If it's used to scrub something aggressively, it's a panguskos.
From `pan-` (which becomes `pang-`) + `kuskos` (to scrub, to rub).
ROOT MEANING: scrub, rub, friction
Can refer to a wide variety of scraping or scrubbing tools.
