FIL: Isang anyong tubig kung saan kusang bumubukal ang tubig mula sa ilalim ng lupa; pinagmumulan o bukal.
EN: spring (of water), source
This is the Earth's natural water dispenser. It's where a river or stream starts, with fresh water bubbling up from the ground. Think of those hidden springs you find when hiking, where the water is so clean you're tempted to drink it (but maybe don't). It's the ultimate source, the 'pinanggagalingan' of clean water.
From 'sibol' ('sprout') + '-an' (locus suffix), literally 'place of sprouting/emerging.'
A more poetic or specific term for a spring than the common word 'bukal'.
🇵🇭 Malinis ang tubig na nagmumula sa sibulan sa paanan ng bundok.
🇺🇸 The water coming from the spring at the foot of the mountain is clean.
