The sound a cat makes when it wants food, attention, or to be let inside at 4 AM. It's the universal cat-call, literally. Also what you might do jokingly to get a cat's attention. The more common term is 'ngumiyaw'.
From the root "ngaw" (an onomatopoeia for a cat's cry) + infix "-um-".
Specifically for the sound a cat makes. "Ngumiyaw" is a more common synonym.
