EN: shade-loving plant; a type of fish (halfbeak)
This word is a two-for-one deal, but both are kinda obscure. First, it's that plant in your tita's garden that thrives in the shade, the one that doesn't need the spotlight to grow. Second, it's a type of fish. Unless you're a botanist or an old-school fisherman, you probably won't hear this in your daily chismis session.
The meaning depends heavily on context (botany vs. ichthyology).
