Note
The everyday -s form of a verb made from a sound. The interjection hmm, which signals pondering or puzzlement, becomes an action someone performs. The verb is intransitive, so it takes no direct object: she hmms over the menu, he hmms at the question. What follows is a preposition or a new clause, never a thing being hmmed. The ending is a plain -s added to the base.
