EN: to swallow
To swallow something, literally. Like that giant pill the doctor gave you, or your pride when you have to ask your parents for money again. It's the final act before something goes down your throat. 'Huwag mo nang nguyain, lulunin mo na lang!' (Don't chew it anymore, just swallow it!)
From 'lunok' (swallow). The final 'k' is dropped and the vowel 'o' becomes 'u' in this verb conjugation.
The object-focused verb form of 'lunok'. Also spelled as 'lunukin'.
