wab HevwI'  		radio (n) (TNK)

(qe'San, 11/02/2011)  "I suppose although that could refer to any signal receiver rather than the type of device you'd tune into to listen to music.  Having said that I took a similar tack but used {Se'}.  In the first draft as I didn't have sight of the images I was thinking of some radios being 2 way communication devices as well as what we have here so I had written {Se' HablI'}.  Marc said that although not wrong the picture depicted something that wasn't 2 way and wanted {wab} in there so updated the entry to {wab HevwI'}.  This also then fits better with cassette.

wab ta  		audio (file), [i.e. sound clip, recording] (n) 

(De'vID < MO, 2/25/2018):  A video (à la YouTube) could be a {HaSta ta} "visual display record".  The audio counterpart could be a {wab ta} "sound record" 

wab 			sound,  noise (n) 

wab qoSta' 'aplo'  	cassette  (n) (TNK)
