EN: handle (of a cup, basket)
The thing you grip for dear life on your 'But first, coffee' mug on a Monday morning. It's the difference between a useful cup and just a ceramic cylinder. Without a pakaw, your mug is just a pen holder.
'Hawakan' is a more general and common term. 'Pakaw' often refers specifically to a looped or curved handle.
