leña
/ˈleɲa/ · B2 · noun · f
firewood
🪵🔥 leña sounds like LAY-nya: lay the logs down and light them up
Say LAY-nya and link it to laying logs in a stack before a fire. Leña comes from Latin ligna, plural of lignum (wood), the same root as English lignin and ligneous. The ñ sounds like the ny in canyon.
