Balui

Balui (pronounced Ba-lui) is a verb meaning "to transform" or change in physical appearance. For example, when a Transformer robot changes from a truck into a robot, this action is considered balui.

This word is commonly used to describe a specific type of lizard that changes its skin color when threatened. In Bijagoi, this lizard is called Ligu Balui, where Ligu means "lizard" and Balui means "transform."

The transformation of a butterfly—from larva to pupa and then to an adult butterfly—can also be described using balui, as shown below.
