EN: To behead (imperative/objective)
This is the 'do it now' version of beheading. If 'pugutan' is the concept, 'pugutin' is the direct order. 'Pugutin mo ang ulo ng manok,' says lola before making tinola. It's the command form, the action you need to perform on a specific object (the head).
'Pugutan' is often used as 'pugutan ng ulo' (to behead someone), while 'pugutin' is used as 'pugutin ang ulo' (to cut off the head). The focus shifts from the victim to the object (the head).
