What does the Japanese word pronounced like "nom" mean?

Question

Or is it a name? A little girl I know draws pictures of people. She draws her mother, father, herself, and for all the rest of the people, she tells me it's "nom."

Answer 1

i don't know what "nom" means,but the Japanese word for family is "kazoku".

Answer 2

nomu means 'drink something' in japanese.

but she drew picture of her family... i dont get what she wanted to say.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Could have said, "nomu" ~ she conceals it.

Can you give me the exact or roughly the conversation?

Edit:

Nomu has several meanings, one being "to conceal" she's probably 1.) telling you it's a secret, 2.) Not Japanese.
