Usage Note
Lumagok is the actor-focus -um- form of lagok, describing the act of gulping or swallowing liquid in a single, definitive swig. The word implies a more deliberate or audible swallow than a quiet sip, and the object-focus partner lagukin is used when the liquid being gulped is the sentence focus.
