EN: to cause to be separated (from each other)
When the team leader says, 'Okay, team, **papaghiwa-hiwalayin** ko kayo into smaller groups for the breakout session.' Also, what your parents threaten to do to you and your jowa if they find out you're failing your classes.
From `pa-` (causative) + `pag-` + `hiwa-hiwalay` (reduplicated form of 'separate') + `-in` (suffix).
ROOT MEANING: separate; apart
The reduplication `hiwa-hiwalay` implies separating a group into multiple parts or pairs, not just splitting one thing in two. This is the causative form.
