FIL: Ang pagiging bali o putol ng isang bagay na matigas ngunit malutong, tulad ng sanga, buto, o lapis, nang hindi tuluyang naghihiwalay.
EN: snapped; fractured
That specific kind of break when something doesn't completely separate. Imagine bending a plastic ruler too far and it gets that white line but doesn't snap in two. Or a twig that you broke but is still hanging on by a thread of bark. That's baklî. It's the 'it's complicated' of fractures.
Often used for bones, twigs, branches, or similar rigid objects. Differentiated from 'bali' which can be a complete break, and 'putol' which is a clean cut.
