What is the meaning of 'irog irog' ?

The root word is "irog" which means move. "Irog-irog" mean move a bit.

Thanks Ray, this is great. Out of these synonyms, ive heard of sibog; the former (irog) was just a recent one--made known to me by Max Surban's Song, "Pasayawa ko day". lol.

There is still so much for me to learn. Thanks!
