/pan-tuk-TOK/
FIL: Isang kasangkapan, karaniwan ay martilyo, na ginagamit sa pagpukpok o pagtuktok ng isang bagay, tulad ng pako.
EN: hammer
The official tool for when you need to make noise and pretend you're being productive. It's what you use to hang a picture frame (and accidentally hit your thumb). In a pinch, your dad's shoe or a heavy-duty book can also become a temporary pantuktok. From 'pan-' (for) and 'tuktok' (to knock/pound).
ROOT MEANING: peak, summit, top
Often used synonymously with 'martilyo' (hammer), but 'pantuktok' is more general and can refer to any object used for pounding.
