EN: to transport via a raft
This is the OG 'Grab' for crossing rivers in the province before bridges were cool. You and your stuff get on a bamboo raft, and Mang Kiko poles you to the other side. It's slow, scenic, and has a 100% chance of getting your feet wet.
From `i-` (causative prefix) + `balsa` (raft).
Primarily used in rural or provincial contexts where rafts are a mode of transport.
