Usage Note
Lumagos is the actor-focus -um- form of lagos, describing something passing all the way through a barrier — a nail through wood, a bullet through a wall, water seeping through a crack. The emphasis is on complete penetration rather than partial entry, distinguishing it from verbs of mere striking or touching.
