It is also the word for “willow” or the “willow tree” which means graceful or slender; and a tree growing near a body of water which provide continuous nourishment and resources for everyone. It can also mean to exist, an oil (anointment(?)), and simply as “U” (you).

(ki), means energy, spirit, a banner, and a period of time; and is also a suffix used to make a gerund or an infinitive.
