UMK-USL p11
n. consciousness process arising out of sensory receptors on contact with external stimuli. Also kāya-viññaṇa-vīthi 

UKT: viññaṇa is orthographically . And therefore is NOT to be pronounced as {wi.nya-Na.} but as {wain-nya-Na}. This view is shared by referees U Tun Tint and U Saw Tun.

vīthi -- street, way, road, path, track, process.
   Various streets are named either after the professions carried out on them, or after the main kind of traffic, or after special occasions (like distinguished people passing this or that road). e.g.
dantakāra vīthi -- the street of ivory workers (profession)
nāga vīthi -- elephant road (traffic).
   VIPs (very-important-people) ride on elephants or ride in elephant-drawn carriages)

vīthi citta -- process of cognition
