Usage Note
Magbitbit is the actor-focus infinitive of bitbit, describing the act of carrying a small item at one's side by hand — a bag, parcel, or package dangling from the fingers. Distinguished from magdala, which covers carrying in general, and magpasan, which implies a shoulder or back load. The object-focus counterpart is bitbitin.
