Single word for thought, emotion in Tibetan

My teacher said Tibetan has a single word for thoughts and emotions, etc., and I am wondering if anyone knows what it is? Thank you.

Solwang?

Solwang, maybe that is it. Rembeber it sounding something like thomng, myong or something like that (I think).

probably མྱོང་བ་ (nyongwa), meaning "experience", all mental experiences.
