FIL: Ang pagbaluktot ng katawan, karaniwan mula sa baywang, upang abutin o tingnan ang isang bagay na nasa ibaba.
EN: to stoop, to bend over
This is more of a bend than a bow. Think of picking up something you dropped, or trying to look under the bed for the remote control. It's the pose you make when you're tying your shoelaces. It's less about respect ('yumuko') and more about the mechanics of bending your body forward.
From 'yukod' (to bend over) with the infix '-um-'.
ROOT MEANING: bow
Often interchangeable with 'yumuko' in the context of bending over, but 'yumukod' specifically emphasizes the bending of the torso.
