EN: bark (of a dog)
It's the sound your neighbor's dog makes at 3 AM that makes you question your life choices. It's the dog's version of "Sino ka diyan?!" or "Uy, may Shopee delivery!"
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *taul, meaning 'to howl, bark'.
"Tahol" is specifically for dogs. Other animals have different terms for their sounds (e.g., "ngiyaw" for cats, "huni" for birds). The verb form is "tumahol".
