Usage Note
Magyupyop is the actor-focus form of yupyop with two related senses: a hen's brooding behavior of sitting on eggs, and the act of hiding or burying one's face in shame or grief. Somewhat archaic and literary, it is rare in modern conversation but appears in poetry and prose that draws on classical Tagalog imagery.
