Lungga

Lungga is a word with roots primarily in the Philippines, specifically within various Visayan languages. It commonly refers to a type of cooking pot or earthenware jar, often used for storing water or fermenting food. The size and specific shape of a lungga can vary depending on the region and its intended use. In some instances, the term might also generally describe a large container or vessel. While historically widespread, its use is becoming less common in favor of modern containers, though it still persists in some rural areas. The construction material is typically clay, fired to provide durability. The process of making a lungga involves shaping the clay, allowing it to dry, and then firing it in a kiln or traditional oven.
