EN: crack, fissure (in dry earth)
Picture a rice field during El Niño, or the skin on your heels after walking barefoot all summer. That's 'litak'. It's the earth so thirsty it literally cracks open. Also a good metaphor for your heart after seeing your crush with someone else. "Puso kong may litak." Hugot!
Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *letak.
Primarily refers to cracks in the ground, but can be used metaphorically for skin or other surfaces.
