EN: To become crippled or incapacitated
This is a heavy one. 'Bumalda' means to be maimed or crippled, usually from a serious accident. It's the kind of word you'd hear in a news report: "Bumalda ang drayber matapos ang salpukan." It's the tragic outcome, the loss of function, the reason for a PWD card.
From Spanish "baldar" (to cripple, to incapacitate).
A formal and somewhat dated term. "Naparalisa" or "nalumpo" are more common in everyday speech.
