Description:

The term 'musika' was borrowed from the fairly international word 'music', probably from English, but there is no clear record to know for sure. It is first attested very early in the language's use in the early period. It has significantly displaced the word 'naja' as the general word for music, 'naja' today pertaining mostly to song specifically. 'Musika' is the general word for music.

Noun:

As a noun, 'musika' refers to music and the usage is much the same as English. A musical composition is 'ny musikas wiru'. A musician is 'musikka'.

Verb:

As a verb, 'musika' is actually an intransitive pali verb meaning to perform music, which takes an absolutive performer. It can be used in a benefactive noxaj form that adds a dative audience. To specify the actual composition, it is added as a periphrastic argument introduced by the null preposition.

Modifier:

As a modifier, 'musikas' means 'musical' or 'musically'.
