talihubay
/taligubay/
 
n.
a love charm
Cult. There are two kinds of charm. The first is made of many types of grass and mixed with honeycomb. It is spread on the bottom lip or eyebrows so that one word or one twinkle of the eye will cause the woman to fall in love. The other is water—an invocation is spoken over the water and it is then used to wash the face, and the remainder of the water is drunk. This is believed to make the male very attractive.
Eng. charm (for a man or woman to like someone); love charm; love potion
