EN: to bow one's head; to stoop
It's that move you do when you pass by older relatives to do the 'mano po'. It's also the default posture when you're scrolling through your phone in bed, or when you realize you've sent a risky text to the wrong person. A sign of respect, shame, or just plain bad posture.
From `mag-` (actor-focus verb prefix) + `uko` (bowed head).
Can denote respect, submission, sadness, or concentration.
