Thumbuakar is not a westernized version of a local sabahan word, although you may be correct. It is actually a dialect word coined by its choreographer back in 2005 to mean 'growing roots'. It was to reflect the idea that they as a newly formed troupe would set their roots here in Singapore and grow to be a great fire performing group.
