foekei
Stage Modern CLT
Pronunciation /ˈfɔɪ.keɪ/
Part of speech Noun
Etymology from Middle fōkē, from Proto foki
Related words loekin, graeshei

foekei — attention; the state of being held to a task.

Notes

A state rather than a decision, and therefore not commanded. One may lose foekei without fault. Contrasted throughout with loekei, which is the act of choosing to give it — a distinction every apprentice is taught early and every master invokes often.
