EN: ashes
What's left after something gets completely burned. Think of the gray stuff from a yosi, the remains in a crematorium, or what's left of your heart after your crush says 'friends lang tayo.' Charot. Also, the cross on your forehead on Ash Wednesday.
From Spanish 'ceniza'.
Often used in religious (Miyerkules ng Senisa / Ash Wednesday) or funereal contexts. The more common word is 'abo'.
