All = lahát


Example in use:

"Ngayon, halos *lahat na* ng gatas--Progress Gold, Enfakid A+" - Now, nearly 
all milk-- Progress Gold, Enfakid A+

Ngayón, halos lahát na ng gatas --Progress Gold, Enfakid A+
now nearly all LINK NF milk Progress Gold, Enfakid A+


* NF = non-focus marker

Don't ask me for an analysis. Im just giving an example of usage :)
