EN: eyelid
Your body's natural curtains. They're what get heavy when the prof's lecture is boring, and what you put eyeshadow on to feel fierce. It's the 'takip' for your 'mata.' Simple as that. It can also mean a blindfold, like what you use for Pinoy Henyo or when you don't want to see your credit card bill.
Compound of Tagalog 'takip' (cover) and 'mata' (eye).
Can mean either 'eyelid' or 'blindfold'. The more precise term for eyelid is 'talukap-mata', and for blindfold is 'piring'. Spelled as 'takip-mata' or 'takipmata'.
