EN: to peck; to rap or knock lightly
Two meanings! 1) What a chicken does to its food. Like you with a bowl of peanuts or sunflower seeds, picking at them one by one. 2) A light knock on the door, not the kind that sounds like a debt collector. More like a 'Tao po, pwedeng maki-charge?' kind of knock.
ROOT MEANING: peak, summit, top
Can refer to a bird pecking ('tuka') or a person knocking lightly ('katok'). The context determines the meaning.
