EN: to bring ashore; to run aground
Imagine you're on a bangka and the engine dies. The boatman has to idahik the boat, meaning, manually get it to the shore. It's the nautical equivalent of pushing a car that's run out of gas. It can also mean when a project or plan gets 'beached'—it gets stuck and can't move forward. "Na-idahik yung project proposal natin, 'di inaprubahan."
Primarily used in coastal or fishing communities. Can also be used figuratively to mean getting stuck.
