EN: to pry open; to flip up
Imagine trying to open a can of corned beef without the key, so you use a spoon. That forceful, awkward prying action? That's 'tikwasin'. Also describes what happens to your hair when you wake up with a bad case of 'bed hair'—it's sticking straight up.
From the root 'tikwas', meaning to be upturned or pried.
Often used for things that are pried open or flipped upwards, like lids, covers, or even a rebellious tuft of hair.
