EN: to form into several small groups; to clique up
This is the more chaotic version of `magpangkat`. It's what happens at a family reunion when the Titas form one group to talk about their "hijos" and "hijas", the Titos form another to talk about cars, and the cousins huddle in a corner to plan their escape. It's the social dynamic of a high school cafeteria.
From the reduplication of `pangkat`.
ROOT MEANING: group, team, faction, set
