“cat” in Sgaw Karen

သၣ်မံညီၤ

thà mee nyāw

cat

Confirmed by a Karen speaker.

“cat” is written သၣ်မံညီၤ in Sgaw Karen, read in a rough way as thà mee nyāw. Knyaw helps you read and understand words, not say them out loud. Karen is a tone language, so the English-letter sounds are only a rough help.
