EN: to be able to cover or press against
That reflex action when you hear a shocking chismis (gossip) and you 'makatutop' your mouth with your hand. Or when you have a sudden headache and you 'makatutop' your forehead. It's the ability to cover, press, or place a hand (or something similar) firmly against a surface.
'Tutop' often implies using the palm of the hand. It's a very specific action.
