/lu-WAL/
FIL: Tumutukoy sa pagiging nasa labas. Sa isang pormal o makalumang konteksto, ito ay nangangahulugang isinilang o inianak.
EN: born; out; external
The old-school, dramatic way of saying something is "out." You wouldn't say your friend is "luwal" of the closet, but you might read in a historical text that a hero was "luwal sa kahirapan" (born into poverty). It’s a bit extra, like using "henceforth" in a text message. Its most common modern use is in the word "pagluwal" (childbirth).
A more formal and somewhat archaic term. Most commonly encountered in the compound form "pagluwal" (birth) or the verb form "iniluwal" (was born).
