EN: to have a bone fractured; to have a bone broken

ma- (potential verb prefix) + bali (break, fracture) + -an (locative/referential suffix)
Refers to the unfortunate event of someone getting a fracture, not the act of breaking something. 'Nabalian ako' (I got a fracture) vs. 'Binali ko' (I broke it).
