  Kneel \Kneel\ (n[=e]l), v. i. [imp. & p. p. Knelt (n[e^]lt) or
     Kneeled (n[=e]ld); p. pr. & vb. n. Kneeling.] [OE.

     To bend the knee; to fall or rest on the knees; -- sometimes
     with down.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The act of kneeling, when performed in front of a
           person, is often done as a sign of respect, humility,
           or supplication. It has a similar significance when
           performed in front of religious objects, such as an
           altar or shrine.
           [PJC]
