EN: wallowing, sunk (in misery/poverty), prostrate
If `lugami` is being knocked down by sadness, `lugmok` is staying down and wallowing in it. It's when you're stuck in a rut. "Lugmok sa kahirapan" (sunk in poverty). "Lugmok sa bisyo" (wallowing in vice). It has a sense of being trapped and unable to get up. It's the state of being after the "wala na, finish na" moment, when you've accepted defeat and are just lying there.
Stronger and more permanent-sounding than 'lugami'. It implies being stuck in a negative state.
