utu
haze, mist (very fine particles of water vapor in the air slightly limiting visibility)
==== Usage notes ====
The words sumu, usva and utu all describe water vapor lightly suspended near the ground, but – strictly speaking – at different degrees. However, they may often be used synonymously with no discretion.
sumu describes very thick vapor obscuring the visibility near the ground and thus it is translated usually as "fog" or "mist".
usva describes somewhat thick vapor near the ground. Therefore, it is translated usually as "mist", "fog" or "haze". In some contexts, usva is treated as a synonym of sumu.
utu describes very light vapor near the ground, especially that occurring in the morning and therefore it is translated usually as "haze" or "mist".
utu technically only applies to haze consisting of moisture or water vapor, while haze caused by dust particles is called auer.
