Word: bow

Category:

Description/Reason:

To show someone respect by lowering ones head by bending at the waist. To *bow*chu' would be to do a "full prostration bow", which is when you kneel on the floor, put your hand on the floor in front of you and touch your head to the back of your hands. It would be nice to have both a verb for the action and a noun for the activity.

  1. A word for this action probably isn't a bad idea, with the caveat that this might not have the same cultural meaning that it does for societies on Earth.
