| has gloss | nor: Neiing er en gest som brukes av kvinner som en hilsen eller som et tegn på høflighet, på samme måte som bukking. Neiing består i at knærne bøyes et kort øyeblikk, noen ganger i kombinasjon med at hodet eller overkroppen bøyes. Imidlertid blir det også fullt ut regnet som god kutyme at kvinner bukker, og det å neie har mange steder blitt mer uvanlig. |
