verbs of carrying

[Christopher Sundita]

Hello,

Here is the verb "to carry on the head" in four Philippine languages:

Bikol (North): luluto
Cebuano: lukdo
Ilokano: suon
Tagalog: sunong
As for  agender-specific words for carry, as a Tagalog speaker, I don't
know of any word for such a distinction.
