lezeksé, v. To lift the head indicating confidence or agreement. Typically this is done by angling the face upward without any postural changes in a show of dominance or pride. Occasionally the word is also used for excited nodding. Lezeksekía may be considered rude and was traditionally not done by the Lilitai except by a superior to an inferior.
