apulu n Monkey trap either that made of thorns in which the monkey is killed or another style like a cage in which one or more monkeys can be trapped alive. Ka dugi to anibung, ogkagamit to oghimu koy to apulu to ubal. The thorns of the anibung palm tree are used by us to make a monkey trap (lit. monkey-trap of the monkey). [One type is made of thorns and has a trigger which causes the monkey to be pinned and also causes the monkey's death. Another kind is made like a cage and catches the monkey alive. It is baited allowing the monkey to enter but not escape. Other monkeys may follow the first and also be trapped.]
