This literally translates to "side of the head," referring to the long hair on the neck of a horse or other animal.
Here are some other ways to say "mane" in Tagalog, depending on the context:
* "Buhok sa leeg" (hair on the neck)
* "Hagdan ng buhok" (hair ladder, referring to the mane's cascading look)
* "Palawit na buhok" (hanging hair)
However, "tagiliran ng ulo" is the most common and straightforward translation.
