EN: toothless
Literally, 'toothless.' This describes babies before their teeth come in, or your lolo who forgot to wear his pustiso (dentures). It can also be used figuratively to describe something that lacks power or 'bite,' like a law na 'walang-ngipin' because it has no real penalty.
Mula sa 'walâ' (none) + 'ngipin' (tooth).
ROOT MEANING: tooth
