[[Category: | ===Pronunciation=== | ||
(''Toki Pona'') [[Guide:IPA|IPA]]: /mu/ | |||
===Content Word=== | |||
'''mu''' | |||
# INTERJECTION roar, quack, moo, bark, neigh | |||
# VERB to meow, to bark, etc | |||
=== Notes === | |||
The semantic space of mu contains noises coming from things being framed as living. A lion's roar is mu. A cough is mu. Humans are animals, but often when they say things, we can understand them, so we might choose to use a different word over mu. But mu is often used to describe languages and vocalizations that are not understood by the speaker. Adjacently, many people describe non-language vocalizations as mu, such as coughs, sneezes, or vocal stims. | |||
