As for a tree which has been uprooted, the body will be slow to deteriorate. That is what is [meant by the word] lopang because it becomes the resting place of the wild creatures. [Such as when a tree falls on its own and becomes uprooted as a result of having aged, or is felled by wind or a flood. The word also applies if people have cut around the base and then pull it over. (Such a tree provides a shelter between the roots and body of a tree where wild animals take shelter.)] osyn: pukan, luwal.
