n.
“breath”

1.
n.
breath; life
Wrd.Gloss: breath
Cult. Everything that lives has geyinawa. This includes trees, plants and, surprisingly, water. The geyinawa is passed from the mother to her offspring. Likewise, the ground is the source of geyinawa in crops and other plantlife. When a person or plant dies, his/its geyinawa no longer exists. The same is true of water that boils off.
Nangenen ku ne warè pad migpatey ka itù, piru te pegsamsam ku kandin, warad bes e geyinawa.
I thought the puppy wasn't dead, but when I touched it, its life had gone.
