I seems like this and katá were interchangeable, with the two meanings of dual and "I to you" [1].

As enclitic/bound word:


Magtápon kitá ng lúlan. [1].
Let's throw cargos.
Itapon = let's throw, kita = you and me, ng lulan = of cargo. Context is that ship needs to lighten due to storm or fire to prevent sinking.
