EN: to bow (one's head); to cause to bend down
When your boss gives you a mountain of work on a Friday afternoon, you just bow your head in defeat—that's it, you **iuko** your head. It’s also what you do when walking past a low-hanging sampayan (clothesline) to avoid getting clotheslined.
ROOT MEANING: to bow; to stoop
The root word 'yuko' starts with 'y'. When the 'i-' prefix is added, the 'y' is dropped, resulting in 'iuko'.
