FIL: Isang balangkas na kahoy na ipinapatong sa batok ng dalawang hayop, karaniwang baka o kalabaw, upang pag-isahin ang mga ito sa paghila ng araro o kariton.
EN: yoke
The OG "group project" tool for carabaos. It's a wooden neck-hug that forces two individuals to work together, whether they like it or not. It's the agricultural symbol for "we're in this together," or more accurately, "wala kang choice, hihilahin natin 'to."
From "pan-" + "patok" (to place on top). The "n" in the prefix "pan-" assimilates to "m" before a root word starting with 'p'.
ROOT MEANING: a hit; popular; trendy
Primarily used in agricultural contexts. Can also be used metaphorically to mean a burden or oppression.
🇵🇭 Inilagay ng magsasaka ang pamatok sa dalawang kalabaw bago mag-araro.
🇺🇸 The farmer placed the yoke on the two carabaos before plowing.
