EN: to intertwine; to crisscross
Imagine trying to explain your family tree at a reunion, and everyone is somehow related in three different ways. That's `pagsala-salahin`. It's also what you do with your fingers when you're praying your crush replies to your DM, or when you're weaving a banig. It's organized chaos.
From `pag-` + `sala-sala` (interwoven, lattice) + `-hin` (verb suffix). The root `sala-sala` refers to a lattice or weave.
This verb implies making something into a lattice-like or interwoven structure.
