EN: to sway gently, to rock repeatedly
This is the 'chill' version of 'umugoy'. The repetition of the root word 'ugoy' implies a gentler, more continuous, and often more deliberate action. It's not the violent sway of an earthquake, but the gentle rocking of a boat on calm water, or a mother lulling her baby to sleep. It’s 'ugoy' with extra tenderness.
The duplication of the root word ('uguy-ugoy') indicates a continuous, repeated, or diminutive action.
