FIL: Ang pagyukod o pagluhod bilang tanda ng paggalang, lalo na sa kontekstong panrelihiyon.
EN: to kneel down; to genuflect
This is that super-formal, old-school move of kneeling out of respect, usually in a church. It's not just 'luhod' (kneel); it has that extra 'oomph' of reverence, like you're about to meet the final boss of holiness. Think of your lola telling you to do it before you even see the altar.
A very formal and rare word, mostly found in religious or literary contexts. The common term is 'lumuhod'.
