EN: Crumpled; crushed in the hand
That thing you do to a piece of paper right after you write a wrong answer on a test or get a passive-aggressive email from your boss. You grab it, squeeze it into a tight ball, and wish you could throw it into a volcano. That's **nilamukos**. It’s anger, frustration, and recycling prep all in one action.
From 'lamukos' (to crumple) with the infix '-in-'.
ROOT MEANING: crumpling; crushing with the hand
Implies a more forceful and often emotionally-charged action than simply 'nilukot' (crumpled/folded).
