raja

/ˈraxa/ · B2 · noun · f

slit

raja — slit

🍉🔪 raja sounds like RAH-ha: a knife goes RAH and leaves a slit

Say RAH-ha as a blade cuts through a melon: the cut leaves a raja, a slice or a crack. The same word covers a slit in a wall or a splinter of wood, since each is a thin piece or gap made by splitting.
