Transliteration: skya ga
<noun> 1) The bird "crow". Note that crows in South-east Asia are not always completely black. The common crow is black with a white blaze on the chest. Tibetans also often use the Sanskrit-derived term ཀ་ཀ་ to mean crow. See also བྱ་རོག་ "black crow". 2) "Magpie"; although the term actually refers to the crow, since the Magpie bird is very similar in appearance to the common crow of this area, the word is sometimes used to mean the Magpie.
