/KA-way/
FIL: Ang kilos o galaw mismo ng pagwagayway ng kamay bilang pagbati o pamamaalam.
EN: a wave (of the hand)
It's the gesture itself. 'Isang kaway lang, sapat na.' (Just one wave is enough.) It's the noun form of the action. You give a 'kaway', you don't just 'kaway'. Like how a beauty queen perfects her 'kaway' for the parade.
Mula sa Proto-Malayo-Polynesian na `*kaway`.
Tumutukoy sa mismong kilos o galaw.
🇵🇭 Isang matamis na kaway ang kanyang isinukli sa aking pagbati.
🇺🇸 She returned my greeting with a sweet wave.
🇵🇭 Ang huling kaway niya ay hindi ko malilimutan.
🇺🇸 I will never forget his last wave.
