EN: estuary
It's where the river finally meets the sea. Think of it as the grand finale of the river's journey, where fresh water and salt water have their 'meet-cute'. It's also a common place name, so if someone tells you to meet them at 'Sabang,' clarify if they mean the geographical feature or the barangay.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *sabaŋ, meaning 'river mouth' or 'confluence'.
Primarily a geographical term. Also a common place name in the Philippines (e.g., Sabang, Puerto Princesa).
