Definition
笼 (lóng) as a verb means to cover, envelop, or shut in a cage-like manner, though this usage is less common than the noun sense 'cage'. Note that the distinct pronunciation lǒng is used in the common verb '笼罩' (to envelop/cover). This row gives the lóng reading for verb uses such as '笼盖' (to cover/overspread) and '笼住' (to cage in/to trap).
