ma-
For a chicken or bird to molt. (The downy feathers are replaced
with mature feathers.)
Ang mano napanili ra ig poidi rang tanggolan.
The rooster has already molted and so it can now have its comb
cut off.
The rooster is now of fighting age and the comb is cut off so that its
opponent has nothing to peck at or hang on to. See tanggol.
