EN: to fetch water with a pail
Before faucets were a thing everywhere, this was the daily workout. 'Timbain' is the verb for fetching water, usually from a well ('balon') or a communal pump ('poso'). It’s the act of lowering the 'timba' and hauling it back up. In modern terms, it's what you do when the water company announces a service interruption and you need to fill up every container you own.
From 'timba' (pail) + '-in' (verb suffix).
ROOT MEANING: pail
Specifically refers to the action of using a 'timba' to get water, often from a deep source.
