EN: to skip over; to omit
When you're reading a book and skip a boring chapter, you 'nilaksan' it. When you're counting and you go '1, 2, 4, 5', you **nilaksan** the number 3. It's the act of deliberately leaving something out. It’s what you do to the 'Terms and Conditions' page.
Maaaring isang pinaikli o rehiyonal na baryasyon ng 'laktawan'.
