Variant taga
adv
English This word is used in conjunction with numbers meaning to do s.t. to the object in groups of however many the number dictates
(as swallowing pills two at a time, counting s.t. five at a time, etc.). If the number is reduplicated the “so many at a time”
refers to the number of people performing the action, (as in walking two by two). The variant form, taga, is used when the number is one.
