FIL: Isang tao na putol, kulang, o walang isa o parehong braso o kamay.
EN: armless
This is an old, somewhat dated term for someone who has lost a hand or an arm. It's not politically correct anymore; you'd use "person with a disability" or "amputee" in formal contexts. But in the province, you might still hear a tito refer to a character in a story as "pungkol."
Can be considered offensive or outdated. Use with caution. "Taong may kapansanan" is the preferred modern term. Can also be used as a noun.
