a big unexpected much
If a word is a sound associated with an object or concept, then Katya’s first English word and second word ever (after ANG!) is: BUAH.
“Buah” for “Book.”
We read a lot of books. We look at pictures in books. We keep at least one book in every play place. But it never occurred to me that her very first word in an established historical language would be BOOK.
I am teary-eyed-pleased.
