EN: face-first fall; prone position
This is the most ungraceful way to fall. It's not a simple trip; it's a full-on, face-first dive onto the pavement. Imagine running to catch the jeep, tripping, and ending up *sungaba* on the ground. It's a mix of physical pain and epic-level hiya (embarrassment). 'Pasensya na, late ako, sumungaba ako sa hagdan.'
This is a root word. The actor-focus verb is 'sumungaba' (to fall face-first). The descriptive state is 'nakasungaba' (to be lying prone/face-down).
