Etymology

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ˈutu/, [ˈut̪u]
  • Rhymes: -utu
  • Syllabification(key): u‧tu
  • Hyphenation(key): utu

Noun

[edit]

utu

  1. haze, mist (of water vapor)

Usage notes

[edit]
  • The words sumu, usva and utu all describe "water vapor lightly suspended near the ground", but – strictly speaking – at different degrees. However, they may often be used synonymously with no discretion.
    • Utu describes very light vapor near the ground, especially that occurring in the morning and therefore it is translated usually as "mist" or "haze".
    • Usva describes a bit thicker vapor than utu near the ground, especially when considering the water travelling conditions. Therefore, it is translated usually as "mist", "haze" or "fog".
    • Sumu describes very thick vapor obscuring the visibility near the ground and thus, it is translated usually as "mist" or "fog".
  • utu is used for haze caused by water vapor - if the haze is caused by something else, it is called auer.
