EN: to look out of (a window); to peer out
This is the official verb for being a "Marites" from your window. When you hear a commotion outside and you just *have* to see what's up, you don't just "look," you "dumungaw." It's leaning out just enough to get the tea, but not enough to be fully involved. The classic "usyoso" move.
From `dungaw` (act of looking out) + `-um-` (actor-focus infix).
Almost always associated with windows, balconies, or other openings. Implies looking downwards or outwards from an enclosed space.
