@Wikitiki89, Cinemantique, Wanjuscha, Stephen G. Brown Do you guys know how to write IPA for this interjection, also written гм? The letters don't really represent the actual sounds uttered, more like moaning with the mouth shut. Is there a recording? --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:48, 30 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

I think it’s /hm̩/, sounding a bit like the English hmm. —Stephen (Talk) 05:10, 30 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. Yes, indeed, it sounds quite similar. I won't add it now, will wait for more answers, not sure if /hm̩/ would be valid for Russian (or it may be a language-neutral sound?) --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:24, 30 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
