EN: is spilling; is being wasted
This is the 'spill' in real-time. It's the panic you feel when you see the softdrinks overflowing from the glass. It can also be used figuratively for wasting resources, like when your manager sees you on Facebook during work hours and says your time is 'natatapon' (being wasted).
From 'na-' (progressive prefix) + reduplication of the first syllable of the root 'ta-' + 'tapon' (to throw away).
This is the progressive/present tense form of 'matapon'. It can mean literally spilling or figuratively being wasted.
