EN: a species of wild sugarcane
Not the tubo you see in haciendas for making sugar. This is the wild cousin, the one that grows freely by the riverbanks, often used for thatching or just being... wild. It's the "talahib" of the sugarcane world.
ROOT MEANING: to squeeze (juice from fruit)
A botanical term, not common in everyday conversation unless you're a botanist or live in a rural area where it's prevalent.
