Definition:

/kanɯːh/

Study; actively engage in the internalization of thought/knowledge

Etymology:

Composition of ka (“execution, ongoing action”) + ny (“inside, interior”) + mȳh (“think, thought”).

The form results from phonological contraction (ka-ny-mȳh → kanȳh), expressing the idea of “putting thought in through deliberate action.”

Example:
  • Kanȳh kcɔ jamys̆ɔ čɔ, mā nẽno wa.
    Study for the test, my son.
