FIL: Itiwarik o itumba nang patiwarik; gawing baligtad na ang itaas ay nasa ibaba.
EN: to tumble; to turn upside down somersault-style
This is a more dramatic version of `ibaliktad`. Think gymnastics, or what happens to your life when you suddenly lose your job and your Jowa in the same week. Everything just tumbles over. It's the action of flipping something over completely, like a car in an action movie.
From `i-` (causative prefix) + `balintuwad` (topsy-turvy, head over heels).
Implies a more forceful or complete overturning than 'ibaliktad'. Can be used for acrobatic movements.
