EN: to turn; to make a detour
Think of it as `umikot`'s cousin. While `umikot` can mean spinning in place, `umikit` is more about making a turn or taking a different route. It's what the jeepney driver does to avoid traffic: "Dito tayo uumikit, mas maluwag." It's taking the scenic route, whether you want to or not.
Often used interchangeably with 'lumiko' (to turn) or as a less common synonym for 'umikot' (to go around).
