tulah-tulah
1.
mag-
‘accusation’ to angrily accuse someone of ungratefulness or other faults; to bring up the past as an accusation; ‘past’ to throw up the past to someone in an argument.
Some Samals are apt to think they are being accused of ungratefulness, even if they are only reminded about some kindness shown to them. It does not have to be a direct accusation. For instance, in the course of trying to correct a misunderstanding, or counter misinformation, someone merely lists the things that he has done for another, the other person is apt to take great offense, believing he is being "accused", which may or may not be the case, especially when the person doing the reminding is not a Samal, and may not realize how a Samal views such a reminder.
Daa kam subey magtulah-tulah bang kam magbonoh.
You must not bring up the past if you fight.
Bey sigeya magbonoh eh na nulah-nulah danakan-na ma pasal magpaiskul.
They were fighting, her sister was accused of ungratefulness about [her] being sent [to] school by her.
In their fight, she accused her sister of being ungrateful for her sending her through school.
