FIL: Ang pagdurog o pagpino ng isang bagay sa pamamagitan ng paulit-ulit na pagpukpok o pagdiin, karaniwan ay gamit ang pandikdik at lusong.
EN: to pound
To pound something into submission. Like how you crush garlic with the flat side of a knife, or how your lola pounds rice to make 'pinipig'. Metaphorically, it's what your heart feels like during a 'hugot' moment, or what you want to do to your slow laptop. 'Binayo sa dibdib' = chest-pounding anxiety.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *bayu.
Often performed with a mortar and pestle ('lusong at pandikdik' or 'almires').
