anūma
I think I figured out my dilemma from yesterday. I think jaxÄ«ra is the most basic word for sound or noise and jasÄora is a more specific word for sound or noise made by an animate being. This distinction of animate vs non-animate is a theme of KÄ“len, so that works.
On to today’s word. anÅ«ma is an attribute of sound, meaning loud. It is sometimes glossed merely as noise, since in the inanimate singular, it would mean a loud noise.

He fell for a long time with silence except for the noise of the air.
