Description:

The term 'naja' is a Old Common word for music in general - it used to be used with the modifier 'wistes' if song was intended. However, the relatively international word 'musik' entered Common from English and displaced 'naja' from this general meaning. In modern High Common, it pertains only to voice.

Verb:

As a verb, 'naja' is a ditransitive happat verb with an ergative singer, an absolutive thing sung, and a dative audience. The disintentive skurun form means singing to yourself, without the intention of being overheard.

Noun:

As a noun, in modern High Common, 'naja' is a song. It used to mean a musical composition more broadly. Today is usually implies human voice is involved, but it can still be used in the old sense as a composition, particularly if found in a context where a vocal act would also be expected.

The derived form 'najasyn' used to mean music generally, now usually means song generally, but can still have the broader meaning, again where voice might be expected as part of an act.

The deribed form 'najaca' means 'singer'.

Modifier:

The modifier form 'najas' used to mean 'musical' in general. The current usage means something like 'musically talented, especially, having a good voice' when applied to a person, or 'sweet sounding, having a song-like quality' when applied to a sound.
