EN: spit; spittle
It's the stuff you spit out. Gross, but a daily reality. Seeing *lura* on the sidewalk is a classic Pinoy street experience. It's also what you metaphorically do to someone you despise (duraan sa mukha). In the age of COVID, it became public enemy number one.
Often used interchangeably with `dura`. `Lura` is the noun, `lumura` or `ilura` is the verb.
