FIL: Ang marahan at magiliw na paghaplos o pagdampi, karaniwang gamit ang palad, bilang pagpapakita ng pagmamahal o pag-aalaga.
EN: caress, gentle stroke, petting
This is that gentle, comforting stroke you give your pet cat or dog. It's the "good boy" pat. It's what you do to a baby's back to lull them to sleep. It's softer than a 'haplos' and definitely not a 'hilot'. Think less therapeutic, more affectionate. It's the physical version of saying "there, there."
Connotes gentleness and affection.
