Found the word "sumillar" transcribing Star Wars Clone Wars S01E14
Found the word "sumillar" in the middle of transcribing Star Wars Clone Wars S01E14 into an accurate subtitle file.
It's a spiffy cartoon with dual audio that ran for 8 years or so, having 22 episodes per year, with each episode 22 minutes long. Everyone needs a a hobby right?
00:04:53 Pero ahora, gracias a ti, podemos ~sumillar~nos ante todos los tiranos que lleguen en nuestra sistema.
Engrish: But now, thanks to you, we can grovel before every tyrant who enters our system.
"Sumillar" sounds like su-me-yar and is the first single specific word I cannot identify in this project. It is not found in any dictionary that I own or online. That might not mean much.
It appears to mean "grovel". Might also mean "summary" after doing some weak digging on Google and finding a Guatemalan university student also in hot pursuit of the word.
Does anyone know how to spell it? Anyone ever seen this word before? I even tried slapping a few vowels in front of it. I did something wrong. Was it getting up this morning?

Love your profile, Bob. I was always a hippie wannabe, but my parents had other plans.
Anyway, when I plugged "sumillar" into the SD translator, it asked if I meant "humillar," so I said yes. I think you came across a typo. Here's what it said for "humillarse."
humillarse PRONOMINAL VERB 3. (to demean yourself) a. to swallow one's pride Humíllate y admite que cometiste un error.Swallow your pride and admit that you made a mistake. b. to humble oneself Hasta el ególatra se humillaría para lograr que lo asciendan.Even the egomaniac would humble himself in order to get that promotion. c. to bow before Los cortesanos se humillaban ante el rey para obtener su favor.The courtiers bowed before the king to earn his favor.
