himbing

Tagalog[edit]

Said to be borrowed from Hokkien, either:

欣眠 (him bîn / herm bîn, /him³³ bin²⁴/ or /həm³³ bin²⁴/, literally “happy sleep”), according to Manuel (1948).
陷眠 / 含眠 (hâm-bîn / hām-bîn, “to talk in one's sleep; to sleeptalk”) or "sound sleep" according to Manuel (1948).

See also Hokkien 噤 / 含 (hīm / hām, “to keep mouth shut; to be silent”) & 含 (hâm / hām, “to keep mouth shut”) as per Douglas (1873/1899). Furthermore, see also Tagalog him- (historical stative prefix, now unproductive).
