EN: to light, to ignite, a bonfire/blaze
This is the bonfire you make in your backyard to burn dry leaves (and maybe secretly, your ex's old letters). It's also the smell that fills the neighborhood in the late afternoon. It's the act of starting a fire, whether for a barbecue or just to get rid of the 'kalat'.
As a noun, it means 'blaze' or 'bonfire'. As a verb root, it is used in words like 'magsiga' (to make a bonfire), 'sumiga' (to flare up), and 'sinigaan' (a place where something was burned).
