ECNALUBMA

This is not a Tagalog word. It’s English.

ECNALUBMA is the English word AMBULANCE spelled backwards.

Secnalubma is the plural form — it’s “ambulances” spelled the other way.


There has been an upsurge in Filipino usage of slang words derived from the inversion of syllables in standard spelling. These are called mga salitang binaligtad.
