In the Kash world:
celiya 'electricity'; celi, celika 'electrical'
The various devices are calques of Gwr terms, hence anomalously head-last--
celicur (colloq. cicur) radio = electric - narrate, tell
celikaçet (cika) TV , elect. picture
celipin computer, elect. think
celiçit telephone elect. speak
celuri telegraph   elect. write
celici electronic, celi plus diminutive suffix.

The Kash are also telepaths, but without extraordinary native ability or
special training by their off-planet Unity allies, it only works face to

hañuçit -- to "speak" telepathically (hañu soul/mind plus çit < çindi
'speak')
hañuços -- to "hear" (analogical ços for *sos < sosir 'hear')
