EN: to fight over something
This is what happens when there's only one piece of lechon kawali left. Or when two people like the same person. You "pag-awayan" it. It's the verb for turning an object, a person, or an idea into the main event of a conflict. "Huwag na natin 'tong pag-awayan" is the classic line for de-escalation.
From `away` (fight) with the causative/locative affixes `pag-` and `-an`.
ROOT MEANING: fight; quarrel; conflict
The object of this verb is the cause or subject of the fight.
