EN: to lick something off (a surface)
That moment when you've got some sweet condensed milk on your finger after making yema cake, and you lick it clean. That's himuran. It's licking something *off* a surface, usually your own fingers or a plate. It's the final act of 'sayang naman.'
This verb has a locative focus (-an suffix), emphasizing the surface from which something is licked. Contrast with 'himurin', which focuses on the object being licked clean.
