FIL: Isang uri ng maliit na kulisap na parasitiko, partikular na ang batang kuto, na karaniwang matatagpuan sa buhok ng tao.
EN: louse (young)
Before there was 'ghosting', there was the OG ghoster: the 'tuma'. It's that tiny louse that's so small you barely see it, but you definitely feel the itch. It's the 'startup' phase of a kuto infestation. The silent but deadly stage of your hair problems.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *tuma.
Often used interchangeably with 'kuto' (louse) and 'lisa' (louse egg/nit), but technically refers to a young louse.
