EN: thrashing, flailing, striking repeatedly
Imagine a cartoon character going wild with a club. Or how you beat a dusty rug ('yantok') against a wall. It's a violent, repetitive hitting motion. It's the action that goes with the sound 'PAK! PAK! PAK!'. Not a gentle tap, but a full-on, no-holds-barred 'hambalos'.
From 'hambalos' (a strike, a blow).
ROOT MEANING: a forceful strike, a whack
