EN: to cause to foam, to make lather
What you do to your shampoo in your palm before putting it on your hair, para 'tipid' and it feels more luxurious. "**Pabulain** mo muna," as your lola would say about the laundry soap. It's the first step to any good cleaning session.
From the causative prefix `pa-` + `bula` (foam) + the object-focus suffix `-in`.
ROOT MEANING: bubble; foam; lather
Can be used for soap, beverages (like a cappuccino), or even metaphorically for 'whipping up' excitement, though this is less common.
