Word of the Day

to listen : az̆amȳh
Base Function: verb, noun
Definition:

Listen on purpose, with focus, to understand what the sound “means”.

 

Etymology:

 Vynaz̆a clipping (keeps only the most “useful” part of the sound: āz̆a without the long one) + mȳh (think).
Idea: only the signal remains from the raw noise, and thought completes the understanding.

 

Example:
  • ¡Az̆amih kcõ tɔs̆im wa ğāgra!
    Listen to what I say!

 

  • Mɛ vunaz̆a o̊ẽ az̆amȳh ẽcẽ.
    You listen (without attention) but you don't listen (pay attention).
