EN: to shriek in a suppressed way; to squeak
The sound you make when you see a cute dog, a giant cockroach, or your celebrity crush in person. It's not a full-blown scream, just a high-pitched "eep!" that's stuck in your throat. The official sound of *kilig*.
From the root "impit" (suppressed sound) + infix "-um-".
Conveys a sound that is both high-pitched and held back, often involuntarily.
