Morphology
pang- + ipit
- pang- — instrument, means, equipment, or thing used for a purpose.
- ipit — trap or compress between opposing surfaces.
Thus:
pangipit = “an instrument used for ipit.”
Semantic scope
Pangipit is the broad instrumental term. It may include:
- clamps;
- vises;
- locking clips;
- compression fasteners;
- devices that immobilize an object by squeezing it from opposite sides.
A sipit may therefore be considered one type of pangipit, but not every pangipit is necessarily a sipit.
