Note
An -ing form built on a verb that is itself a sound: aww, the drawn-out version of the interjection aw, turned into something people do. As a participle it follows be (the crowd was awwing); as a gerund it names the noise itself (the awwing died down). The spelling changes nothing: -ing simply attaches to aww, keeping both w's.
