Usage notes
Because meanings of words derived with this affix cannot be predicted, each derivation requires a separate dictionary entry. The part of speech is specific to each coining, and not inherent in either the affix or the stem to which it is attached.
Among other uses:
eo covering With body parts, eo -um- may signify a related piece of clothing: eo kolumo, eo manumo, eo plandumo, eo nazumo, eo hufumo. Or it may signify an action using that body part: eo brakumi, eo palpebrumi, eo okulumi.
With things used to kill people, eo -um- may signify a method of execution: eo gasumi, eo ŝtonumi, eo krucumi.
eo numeric base With numbers, eo -um- may signify a numeric base: eo duuma, eo okuma, eo dekuma.
With things enjoyed at leisure, eo -um- may signify a leisure activity: eo butikumi, eo fumumi, eo bierumi, eo esperantumi.
This affix should be used with care when wanting to create new words, because they would likely not be understood by most speakers because of its unpredictable meaning.

Usage notes
The affix tl mag- is usually used for verbs which involve an exterior object, whereas um- is used for verbs which don't.
tl Nagtanong ako sa guro. I asked the teacher.
tl Umalis na ako. I already left.
Mag- is also used for deliberate actions, while um- can be used for involuntary actions.
tl Lumalaki ang bata. The child is growing.
Some words can also change meaning if either one of them is used.
Root word: alis = to go
tl mag-alis = to remove
tl umalis = to leave
Root word: sakay'' = riding
tl magsakay = to load
tl sumakay = to ride
Historically, the affix had the variant tl -im-, that is used when affixed to words that have /i/ as its first vowel. This variant is no longer used in modern Tagalog.
tl linaw -im- liminaw
tl inom im- iminom
Tagalog also used to have a separate infix tl -ungm- (and variant tl -ingm- before /i/) for the complete aspect and progressive aspects in the active trigger. The affixes had since fallen out of use in favor of tl -um-, merging with the infinitive form of the active trigger.
