Na
and ![]()
na
- (syl.) glyph for the syllable na in the Kamakawi syllabary
- (let.) name of the Zhyler alphabet letter n
- (n.) tongue
A o’e na o lea.
“His tongue is swollen.”
Notes: This iku derives from a drawing of a tongue. Not just the part that protrudes, though: the whole thing. Hence the vertical line in back.
You’d think this word would have acquired some new meanings over time, but nope: It’s just “tongue”. Yep. Juuuuuuust “tongue”…
