FIL: Maging hindi matatag o maluwag ang pagkakakabit kaya't patuloy na umuuga o gumagalaw kahit sa bahagyang paggalaw.
EN: to be shaky; to be wobbly
This is the state of your lola's old rocking chair, a wobbly table at a cheap karinderya, or your knees after leg day at the gym. It's that feeling of instability, like one wrong move and it'll collapse.
The reduplication of 'alog' implies a continuous, less intense, and often problematic state of being shaky or loose, as opposed to the single, sudden jolt of 'umalog'.
