EN: to bow, to stoop, to duck
This is your everyday bow. You do this to say 'po' to your lola, to duck under a low-hanging sampayan, or when you drop your phone for the nth time. It can be a sign of respect, or just a physical action to not bump your head. Parang 'pag nakita mo 'yung ex mo with their new partner, biglang **yumuko** ka at nag-pretend na may tinitingnan sa phone.
From 'yuko' (bow, stoop) with the infix '-um-'.
ROOT MEANING: to bow; to stoop
A very common verb. Can be used literally (physical action) or figuratively (to bow to pressure).
