EN: head
The thing on top of your neck that carries your brain, your face, and all your bad decisions. It's also used figuratively. 'Malaki ang ulo' means you're arrogant, not that you need a bigger hat. 'Matigas ang ulo' means you're stubborn. And 'ulo ng balita' is a headline, the 'head' of the news.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *qulu.
Can be used literally for the body part or figuratively for arrogance ('malaki ang ulo'), intelligence ('may ulo'), stubbornness ('matigas ang ulo'), or leadership ('ulo ng pamilya').
