_______________________________________________

(qepHom 2017 p.20):  The verb {ngon} describes what water does when it's boiling: It's bubbling. Also, if you blow with a straw into a glass of water, then it's also bubble-ing, i.e. making bubbles. The person does not {ngon}, they {ngonmoH} the water." 

SEE:
ba'Suq		bubble (n)
  - weSjech ba'Suq Duj 	   hot air balloon (n) (OZ) 

(qepHom 2017 p.20):  The noun {ba'Suq} is used also for a chewing gum bubble, a soap bubble and so on. You can even have bubbles in the bath tub, and the foam in the bathtub is made of millions of bubbles, but the foam itself is not called bubble. Of course, you can add suffixes to it for very small bubbles, like the ones you have in sparkling water and champagne, for instance.
