Huh can be used in numerous ways. One of the many uses of the word "huh" can be agreement. For example, say you're dissatisfied with your job and you happen to work with a Danvurian who shares your discontent with the work place. Simply turn to the Danvurian and express your displeasure with your job: "Oh I just hate it when they have us run these reports every morning!" The Danvurian will take notice of your disgust and agree with the following: "Huh!" (The universal head nod follows the word huh.). Doing this gesture conveys the Danvurians empathy to your situation.
Another use of the word "huh" and head nod is an exclamation expressing surprise or excitement and frequently introducing a question. The Danvurian is good at expressing themselves with filled pauses or one word sentences. This is a way for the Danvurian to express emotion. Example: "Huh, he got knocked the fuck out!"
My last example is used as a part of an utterance not properly heard or understood. For example say you are asking a Danvurian a question from another room and they can't hear because they are watching the Bronco game in the other room. Example: "Hey Rudy, want cheese on your smothered?!" "Huh bud, I am watching the game?!"
Danvurians are very expressive people who love to get their point across with minimal effort and lots of emotion. To the right people we are very open and talkative, but if we hardly know you and you want to engage in conversation, do not be insulted if we reply with a single interjection..."Huh!"
