What a dog does when it sees the mailman, a cat, or a suspicious-looking leaf. In human terms, it's like someone who talks loudly and aggressively but doesn't really do anything. "Puro ka tahol, wala ka namang kagat."
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *taul, meaning 'to howl, bark'.
The most common verb form is "tumahol" (past/infinitive). Can be used figuratively to mean someone is all talk but no action.
