Composition
pa (space/place) + nu (quantity/number) — the quantity of space occupied. Head-final: nu (quantity) is head; pa specifies the dimension.
Definition
size; spatial magnitude; volume or extent of a physical entity.
Notes
Follows the [domain]-nu/vo quality pattern: ha-vo (thermal quality), ra-vo (energy quality, W067), pa-nu (spatial quantity). The nu head rather than vo head reflects that size is a measurable quantity, not merely a quality. Admits comparative construction nu-no/nu-be directly: pa-nu nu-be = larger; pa-nu nu-no = smaller.
