Naw_ ku ̬ ma

Onomatopoeic term that refers to an again and again repeated melodic phrase (c²-b¹-g [in which the 2 first notes are quavers, the third a crotchet]) represented by the syllables "tawˆ", "leh", and "mvuh ̬"; Laˇhu_ shehˇ lehˉ minority (provinces Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai); NB: ➺ my remark to Naw_ suhˆ-ehˆ regarding storage.
