EN: to poke, to nudge
This is that subtle move you do in a meeting to wake up your seatmate who's dozing off. Or when you want to gossip with your friend in church, you kumuhit them. It's a light poke, usually with a finger, to say "Psst!" without actually saying "Psst!"
Past tense/completed aspect of 'kuhit'. Often done with the index finger to get someone's attention discreetly.
