Yay pirmaminting tiniran yang mga samung.The reef-shelf, that is the place where people go-for samung-shells. That is the permanent place where the samung-shells stay.The ligpi is the sea-ward side of the fringing-reef (bag̱unbun) connecting it to the deep water. It never becomes bare like the reef because the water is deep, but not so deep that one cannot see the bottom. In shape it is similar to a submerged-reef (talu) but it differs from it by being part of the fringing-reef which is connected to the land. The characteristic coral rocks on the ligpi are yuntu, dapay-rapay, panga-panga, and the large size latek. It is a good place to spear larger fish. It may contain large indentations (gaak) and may have white sandy bottoms (burata).synbag̓unbunantgaakgaang
