EN: to turn, to rotate, to spin
The action version of 'ikot'. When your boss tells you to do something, then changes their mind, then changes it back. "Paikot-ikot lang tayo, sir." Also, what you do when you're looking for parking at SM on a payday weekend.
Often used in its root form for commands or in reduplicated forms like 'ikot-ikot' (to go around in circles). It's the base for affixed verbs like 'umikot' (to turn) and 'paikutin' (to make something turn).
