I have removed "sayawan" from the Tagalog definition of "ball", as it does not pertain to a "ball" as defined at the top of the page (i.e. any round object). Rather, "sayawan" is actually "a dance, n., an event or occasion where that involves dancing".

That's the kind of work we will need. In many cases, people use dictionaries, and so we don't always know if the definitions are appropriate. So please change the Tagalog to fit the reality.
