FIL: Isang alternatibong baybay para sa 'sangla'.
EN: Pawn; mortgage
It's 'sangla' but on a diet, it dropped the 'g'. It means the exact same thing: pawning your stuff when you're gipit. Just a different spelling, maybe for people who are in such a hurry to get to the pawnshop they don't have time for an extra letter.
A common variant spelling of 'sangla.' Both are widely understood and used, though 'sangla' is considered more standard or formal.
