EN: Pointed / Sharp point
It's the 'ouch' part of a pencil, the business end of a 'kikiam' stick, or the reason you don't run with scissors. If it can poke you, it's got tulis. Also, a 'matulis' mind is a sharp mind, but a 'matulis na dila' is a sharp tongue—use with caution.
Often used with 'ma-' to form the adjective 'matulis' (sharp/pointed). As a noun, it refers to the point itself.
