磨い
とい · toi
磨い is the masu-stem of 磨ぐ — to sharpen, to hone, to whet, to grind.
- to wash (rice)
- to scour, to polish, to burnish
How it’s built
Masu-stem (連用形). The base for ます, たい and ながら, and the way to link two actions: 書き → 書きます.
This spelling is the version with い (sound change before て/た): 書い → 書いて.
磨ぐ is a godan verb (u-verb), so it follows that pattern.
