Foesswy — the passing courtesy; a brief dip of one knee given to a free person passed without stopping.
Notes
Not a command. It is assumed, and the word is only said aloud when it was not done. Given to any free person passed in a corridor or on a stair, and it is the most performed thing in the world and the least remarked on. She does not stop, she does not speak, and she does not wait to be acknowledged.
