EN: to blow one's nose
That loud, unglamorous sound you make when you have a cold. It's the act of clearing your nasal passages into a tissue or handkerchief. Your mom would tell you, 'Suminga ka nga, ang lakas ng singhot mo!' when your sniffing becomes too annoying.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *seŋah (to breathe, pant).
The root word itself is not often used alone. The active verb forms are 'suminga' (to blow one's nose) and 'isinga' (to blow something out of one's nose).
