Usage Note
Umihip is the actor-focus form of ihip, used for both human blowing and wind blowing, making it flexible across literal and meteorological contexts. The collocations ihip ng hangin and ihip ng simoy are well-established in poetry and everyday speech; the locative-focus partner ihipan shifts focus to the surface being blown on.
