Word of the Day
az̆amȳh
to listen
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 wē az̆amȳh ẽcẽ.
You listen (without attention) but you don't listen (pay attention).
