EN: to turn over suddenly; to flip
Imagine you're frantically looking for your missing AirPods. You start flipping over pillows, books, and piles of laundry. That chaotic flipping action is 'balikwasin'. You **balikwasin** everything in your path until the lost item is found. It's organized chaos in verb form.
ROOT MEANING: a sudden rise (from a lying position)
This verb implies a more forceful and sometimes less careful flipping action compared to 'baliktarin'. It's often used when searching for something.
