pū'it

Earwax; ear discharge, from an ear infection.

It is traditionally thought that earwax is the sole cause of deafness; thus a deaf person is said to have earwax regardless of the cause of deafness. When water or some foreign agent is obviously the cause, it is traditionally held that these foreign agents become earwax.

Umu'uddum ya pumū'it nan danum hi umuy hi inga at mid donglon.
