tubúng - Probably the same as the
foregoing tubúng, as there is usually much
less rain during the tubúng than during the

hold a candle to N.N.”. (cf. halídhid).

tubúng - A farmer’s weather-rule, weather
forecast, peasant’s maxim. Many believe

that the weather during the first twelve

of January is called the "tubúng” of
February, the third the "tubúng” of March,
the fourth the "tubúng” of April and so on.

Enéro magaulán man sa búlan sa Abril,

January there will be rain in April, because
it rained on the day that forecasts the
weather for April.
