/ni-lig-LIG/
FIL: Ang kilos ng malakas at paulit-ulit na pag-uga o pag-alog sa isang bagay.
EN: Was shaken vigorously
This is what you do to a bottle of salad dressing, a can of paint, or your sibling when they won't wake up. It's a more intense, more aggressive version of 'inuga' (shaken). If an earthquake was a verb, it would be 'niliglig' the whole country.
From 'liglig' (to shake vigorously) with the infix '-in-'.
ROOT MEANING: a shake to settle contents; overflowing
'Niliglig' implies a more forceful, often vertical or back-and-forth shaking, compared to 'inuga' which can be a gentler sway.
