Types of Flames
When a fire alights and touches a firebrand, it grows in degree and produces what we call flames. Flames have three ways in which they function and intensify. These are Ka Pyning, Ka Laplap and Ka Jliah.
Ka Pyning is the first flame that burns a firebrand.
Ka Laplap is the second part of a flame which allows Ka Pyning to sustain the fire in the wood.
Ka Jliah is the topmost part of a flame which touches the air, which strikes the bottom of the pot while cooking. Ka Jliah is also the part of the flame that will spread the fire to other pieces of wood.
Have you ever stared into a fire? How it is made up of so many flames...the element which gave many civilisations the thrust to empower themselves 🔥🔥🔥
