Composition

fe (boundary/limit) + si (signal) — head-final: a signal characterized as boundary-marking; a signal that a limit is approaching, present, or has been crossed

Definition

warn; issue a warning or alert; a signal that marks a boundary or limit condition

Notes

fe (boundary) characterizes warnings precisely: a warning signals that a limit exists, is approaching, or has been crossed. Preferred over de-si (decay-signal), which conflates the warning with the harm itself. head-final: si is the head (it is a signal); fe specifies what kind.

fe-si-mu (warning device / alarm), fe-ki (to reach a limit / become bounded)

Examples

"ka-fe-si ne-yu" — warn them / issue a warning to them "la-ze lo-si ka-si-ki-past wi [ka-fe-si ne-yu]" — she sent the message to warn them (S017)

S109 lo-fe-so lo-fe-si no-ru
The warning sound and the warning signal are not the same thing.
S127 la-mi to [go [lo-zo-li se lo-si ti-de] la-zo-li ka fe-si lo-li-pu ti-de]
My conceptual model: given the person having perceived the signal, she would have issued a warning to the crew.
S155 to-go [la-zo-li se lo-si ti-de] la-zo-li ka fe-si lo-li-pu ti-de
Counterfactually: given that the person had received the signal, she would have issued the warning to the crew.
S156 la-to-fe-su to [to-go [la-zo-li se lo-si ti-de] la-zo-li ka fe-si lo-li-pu ti-de]
The investigation body asserts as its model: had the person received the signal, she would have issued the warning to the crew.

Had the signal not arrived, the crew would not have received it. Had the crew not received it, they would not have issued a warning. Had they not issued a warning, the collective would have suffered.

[The causal analysis model is now active.] The signal had not arrived. The crew had not received it. The crew had not issued the warning. [Causal analysis model closes.] The investigation body then published the causal analysis.

The investigation body opens the causal model. [In-model:] The signal had not arrived. [In-model:] The crew did not issue the warning. The investigation body closes the causal model.
