Composition
ko (containment/interior) + pa (place/space) — a place defined by enclosure. Head-final: pa (place) is head; ko specifies the bounding character.
Definition
room; enclosed space; a bounded interior place.
Notes
Paired with ki-pa (W049, corridor). ko-pa = bounded; ki-pa = transitive. The contrast follows from the primitives: containment (ko) vs motion (ki) as the defining character of a place. Generalizes to any enclosed space: chamber, cabin, cockpit, archive room.
