EN: Heap, pile
Think of the 'laundry chair' in your bedroom that has a mountain of clothes. That's a 'kabuntunan ng damit'. Or the pile of paperwork on your desk that you've been avoiding since last month. It’s an overwhelming pile of stuff.
From `ka-` + `bunton` (pile, heap) + `-an`, forming a noun that means 'a place of heaps' or simply 'a large heap'.
This is the more standard form than the potential typo 'kabuntuhan'. It emphasizes a large, often messy, pile.
🇵🇭 May isang kabuntunan ng mga lumang diyaryo sa bodega.

🇵🇭 Huwag mong iwanan na parang kabuntunan ang mga laruan mo.
🇺🇸 Don't leave your toys in a messy pile.
