FIL: Pagsanhian na magkaroon ng alon; dalhin o tangayin ng alon.
EN: to cause waves to form
This is what a speeding motorboat does to the calm water, creating a wake. It can also mean to let something be carried by the waves. Parang 'go with the flow' pero literally. "Hayaan mo lang **paalunin** ang bangkang papel."
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `alon` (wave) + `-in` (object-focus suffix).
ROOT MEANING: wave
This is a less common verb. It's more common to say "gumawa ng alon" (to make waves) or "tinangay ng alon" (carried by the waves).
