EN: a hard blow, a strong hit
The sound and impact of a perfectly landed suntok from Manny Pacquiao. It's not a tap; it's a full-force, bone-shaking impact. Think of a blacksmith hitting an anvil, or a demolition crew's wrecking ball making its first contact. It’s pure, forceful impact.
While it is the root for 'lantakan' (to devour), in its noun form, it almost exclusively means a physical strike.
