the panggil are those two protruding appendage on the blade closest to the handle, while pangtuli-tuli literally means to uncap, or take one's cap off, in iranun dialect..

There's small iranun sub tribal group called Suppot tribe who were known to be fierce panabas warriors. They chew on medicinal herbs called bayabas before battle to enhance their fighting skills. After each battle, they jump into the ilog (river) as cleansing ritual to wash of the blood from the bagongtuli panabas.

From what have read, this Suppot tribe were once at war with the Kupal or the Maramdamin tribe. Un necessary war this was!

is there supposed to be dry humor in this thread that i'm not aware of...???

pangtuli is a knife used for circumsission. it's a rite of passage to manhood. the bayabas leaves (guava fruit tree) is chewed and spat on the newly cut foreskin and then the boys would run down the river bank and jump into the water to wash off the blood...my dad and my cousins went through this ritual at prepubescent age...i remember my uncles always trying to scare me with such a tool.

i guess it can be used as a weapon.

btw, "supot" is someone with an uncut foreskin...meaning a wrap or a pouch/bag.

I'm here in Mindanao right now and was told by an old guy that to use that kind of panabas correctly one needs a byagra.

SOK,

Are we all talking the same language here? There are some words that have different meanings depending on the culture. "Datu" in Moro has quite a different meaning as "Datu" in Batak, and yet another meaning in Tamil.
