Ngayun (pronounce as Nga-yun) is a verb for the action to sit on a swing. This also apply to the Gawai tradition where the "Dayung Borih" will sit down and swing on it sing the ritual song to the spirit. I have no idea what are they singing although been once sitting on the ayun listening to my Grandma and her friends singing that song.
