SaySHH-ing/ˈʃ̩ːɪŋ/
- 1Present participle and gerund of shh.
Shhing the restless audience, the usher pointed toward the stage.

Note
The -ing form does double grammatical duty. As a verb it can take an object (shhing the audience) or stand alone (she kept shhing), and as a noun it names the sound itself (their shhing). The interjection behind it does two jobs as well, demanding silence or comforting someone who is crying, so context decides whether the shhing is a rebuke or a lullaby.
