EN: to sprinkle; to flick water
This is the OG way of blessing something (or someone). Picture the priest flicking holy water during a house blessing, or your lola sprinkling water on clothes before ironing them with a flat iron that uses charcoal. It's a delicate, flicking motion, not a full-on drench. It's the "salt bae" of liquids.
Implies a light, flicking motion to disperse liquid, often done with the fingertips.
