That feeling when you're reading a Terms & Conditions and you just scroll to the bottom and click 'Agree'? You just lumaktaw. It's skipping a question on an exam, fast-forwarding through the boring part of a movie, or ignoring a step in a recipe and wondering why it failed. It's the art of the shortcut.
From `laktaw` (skip, omit) + the infix `-um-`.
Can be used for physically jumping over something, but is more commonly used for skipping items in a sequence, list, or process.
