babaong 1. (the act of) waiting before the meal begins 2. the
period after having sat on the table and the start of the meal 3. the moment
prior to the formal start of the meal: it may include the saying of grace in
the old Ilokano way: ‘Degdegam, Apo, ti lames ti daga ken ti taaw tapno manayon
ti panagbiagmi iti inaldaw-aldaw.’—‘You multiply, O Lord, the fish of the land
and the sea in order to make everlasting our everyday life.’
