The fine print of your life's thesis. It's that extra info your prof requires you to add to prove you didn't just copy-paste from Wikipedia. In conversations, it's the 'nga pala...' or 'by the way...' that adds crucial, often juicy, context.
From 'tala' (note) and 'baba' (bottom).
ROOT MEANING: low; short (in height)
A compound word from 'tala' (record) and 'baba' (low). Used in academic writing, legal documents, and formal reports.
