Sinturis
Sinturis is a native Tagalog word for the citrus fruit known widely by the Spanish-derived name dalanghita.
The usage occurs mostly in the province of Batangas, a bulwark of “deep” Tagalog words.
The scientific name of the sinturis plant is Citrus nobilis.
Spelling variations: sintones, sintunis
I panicked when I could not recall the Tagalog word for lime. Well, here it is: “dayap.” Thanks, I feel better now.
I came from the eastern part of Laguna and the dayap I knew was oval shaped, like Bearss, but smaller. The round Key limes we called “montay.”
In my hometown, kalamansi is called “sintones.”
