EN: to fall off (hair, feathers), to shed
This is what happens to your pet dog during shedding season—the whole house becomes a carpet of fur. Or that alarming moment in the shower when you see more hair on the drain than on your head. "Hala, **nalulugas** na buhok ko!" is the battle cry of the stressed-out. It's the process of things falling off when they're supposed to be attached.
Commonly used for hair loss in humans and animals, or grains falling from a stalk. The verb form is often `malugas` (infinitive) or `nalulugas` (present tense).
