Usage Note
Ilatag is the object-focus infinitive of latag formed with the conveyance prefix 'i-', used when the thing being spread or laid out is the grammatical focus. It is the dominant verbal form in everyday speech for both physical spreading — a mat, a blanket, a cloth — and the figurative deployment of plans or arguments. Its actor-focus counterpart is maglatag.
