✓ Canonical — Attested in: Show

Old Tongue

Etymology

Noun

khadye

  1. bones (metonymic); one's deep inner self

Use in Canon

Songs

Notes

  • Khadi is literal bone. The -ye suffix marks its use as a metonym for the person's deep inner self, the same metaphor English uses in "I feel it in my bones" or "bone-deep." The song is not saying there is literally water inside the skeleton — it is saying the Two Rivers is part of who Nynaeve is at the deepest level.
