FIL: Isang malaking halamang may matigas at makahoy na katawan at mga sanga.
EN: tree
The big green thing in your backyard that gives you shade, mangoes, and a lot of leaves to sweep. It's where the kapre supposedly hangs out. Also, 'puno' can mean the trunk of the tree itself. Not to be confused with its alter-ego, 'punô'.
The stress is on the first syllable (PU-no). When used as a prefix, it often means 'chief' or 'head', like 'punong-guro' (head teacher).
