"Kugun" is a word in CEBUANO
kúgun n tall, tough grass, with solid, slender stems, somewhat like bamboo.
This grass together with taláhib moves into de-forested areas and takes possession after the area is burnt.
The leaves are used for thatching and the stems for various hand-icrafts: Imperata cylindrica and exaltata.
v [a12] thatch roof with cogon.
kakugnan n cogon lands.
v [B1246] become cogon lands.
The rain spun in the yellow arc lights over the café parking lot. It was empty inside, except for a fat Negro woman whom I could see through the service window in the kitchen, and a pretty, redheaded waitress in her early twenties, dressed in a pink uniform with her hair tied up on her freckled neck. She was obviously tired, but she was polite and smiled at me when she took my order, and I felt a sense of guilt, almost shame, at my susceptibility and easy fondness for a young woman's smile. Because if you're forty-nine and unmarried or a widower or if you've simply chosen to live alone, you're easily flattered by a young woman's seeming attention to you, and you forget that it is often simply a deference to your age.
