gá·wis
gáwis
Note that this is not a commonly used word among Tagalog speakers.
It refers to the boneless structure below the ribs on the side — like the flank or obliques.
There are dictionaries that translate the word as “solar plexus” which is actually in the middle of the abdomen above the bellybutton.
