EN: to attack each other
This is the 'bardagulan' verb. It's not a one-way attack; it's a full-on brawl, a mutual exchange of fire. Think of two groups of fans arguing in a comments section, or your cats suddenly deciding the living room is a wrestling ring. "Nag-atakihan sila!" means the chaos is reciprocal.
From 'atake' + '-an' suffix, indicating reciprocal or locative action.
ROOT MEANING: attack
The '-an' suffix here denotes reciprocal action. It implies multiple actors attacking each other.
