EN: to cover one's head or face (with a cloth)
The classic move when you see someone you owe money to at the mall. Also when you go out with no makeup and don't want to be seen. It's the original 'incognito mode' before smartphones. Also used traditionally for prayer or to show modesty.
The object used for covering is often a loose piece of cloth, like a shawl ('alampay'), veil ('belo'), or blanket ('kumot').
