EN: prop, brace, support
That one friend who's always there when you're down, the 'tukod' of your life. It's like the monobloc chair you lean on when you're tired, or the extra pillow behind your back to keep you from slouching in your WFH setup. It's the thing that keeps other things from falling apart.
Can be used as a verb 'tumukod' (to use a prop) or 'tukuran' (to put a prop on something).
