To clean something by picking out debris, like weeds from a
fishing net, or debris and other things from shells and fish; to
clean and separate cogon grass (kirib) using a rake-like or
comb-like tool made of bamboo.
Agganloyon nira tang mga linget ong sinarapan
nira.
They are picking
out
the
debris from what they
caught in their fishing net.
Anloyan mo ta masinlo tang latok ba-lo ogatan.
Clean the seaweed well of
debris before washing it
off.
Indi ami natapos ang naganloy tang kirib ang ginalab amen.
We weren't able to finish cleaning
and
separating the
cogon grass that we had cut with a scythe.
Ong paganloy ta kirib, ang anday sayod agpalbag ong
masisinlo.
In cleaning cogon grass, the bad stuff is separated from
the good.
A large rake-like or comb-like tool made of bamboo is
attached upright to a post. Then the cogon grass is pulled
through the teeth. The undesired short, dry stuff falls away
and the good part is left.
