EN: to be born; to emerge
This is the OG "coming out" story. The ultimate grand entrance. It's the verb for being born, for making your world debut. Before your first cry, first steps, or first IG post, you first had to lumuwal. It’s the most dramatic and profound exit from a nine-month staycation.
From 'luwal' (exterior, outside), referring to coming out into the world. The '-um-' infix indicates a verb.
ROOT MEANING: born; out; external
A more formal or literary term for "to be born" compared to the more common 'ipinanganak'.
