EN: to throw (something)
When someone is being annoying and you just want to throw your phone at them, but you can't because it's expensive. So you just *ibato* a pillow instead. Also, what you do with shade or accusations online: *ibato ang resibo!* (throw the receipts!).
From `i-` (object-focus verb prefix) + `bato` (stone). Literally 'to stone' but generalized to mean 'to throw'.
ROOT MEANING: to throw
The focus is on the object being thrown. Contrast with *bumato* (to throw, actor-focus).
