Description:
The term 'fehet' refers to literal, physical bound books. A book as in the actual writing would be called a 'cetka' or an 'akpe cetka' ('big writing'). Fehet is an Old Common word. It is almost always used as a noun. It's meaning can extend to more bound physical writings than the English word 'book' - for example, a magazine or pamphlet might be a 'fehet', possibly 'sinku fehet' or 'little book' for disambiguation.
The set phrase 'na zra Fehet' could be used for any holy book but generally refers to the Bible, and is the only word for the Bible in Common.
