Other entries with this spelling
Wiktionary records 2 entries spelled “yè”. You're reading one of them; here are the others.
Possibly used in
We are not certain about these, for one of two reasons.
Wiktionary says some of them were built from a word spelled like this one, without saying which meaning, so we show each under every meaning it could have come from.
The rest are spelled a little differently from anything here — a tone mark or an underdot apart — so we cannot tell a misspelling of this word from a word that has no page yet.
Both are fixable on Wiktionary, one word at a time. How to help.
Listed as a similar word by
These words list this one in their own definitions. This word does not list them back, so Wiktionary records the link in one direction only.
The meaning shown next to each is the one that named this word.
alternative form of màmá (“mother, mom”)
tọ́verb
“tọ́” lists “yẹ” as a word built from it. No word here is spelled that way, so this page was matched to it by ignoring underdots. It may be a misspelling, or “yẹ” may be a word nobody has written up yet.
