EN: to whine; to whimper
That annoying, low-volume, high-pitched complaining sound a kid makes when they don't get the toy they want. It's less than a full cry, more than just being quiet. It's the soundtrack of a spoiled toddler in the mall. Also used for puppies whimpering.
From the root "ingil" (whine, whimper) + infix "-um-".
