EN: to cover with the hand or palm
That reflex action when you say something you shouldn't have and you try to physically stop the words from escaping. 'OMG, did I just say that out loud?' *covers mouth*. Or when you see something shocking and you gasp. It's the universal sign for 'oops,' 'ay!', or 'hala!'.
A very specific action of covering with the palm of the hand, often a reflexive gesture for the mouth, ears, or a wound.
