EN: crowing of roosters (simultaneously); time of crowing
It's the morning concert in the province. When one rooster starts, they all join in. 'Tilaukan' is the chaotic symphony of roosters trying to out-crow each other. It's the sound that means dawn has broken and it's time to make coffee.
From 'tilaok' (crow) + '-an' (denoting a collective time or event).
ROOT MEANING: rooster's crow
The suffix '-an' denotes a collective or reciprocal action. It refers to the specific time, usually dawn, when roosters crow together.
