Composition

ko (containment) + mu (artifact) — an artifact defined by its holding function. Head-final: mu (artifact) is head; ko specifies functional class.

Definition

vessel; container; an artifact whose defining function is containment.

Notes

Distinct from ko-pa (W048, enclosed space): ko-mu is a portable artifact that holds; ko-pa is a fixed place that encloses. Both have ko as modifier but differ in head (mu = artifact vs pa = place). The S071 use (ne-ko-mu = toward the container as destination) confirms ko-mu as a spatial reference landmark.

Examples

"la-ko-mu ko lo-ma-di" — the vessel holds water (S068) "la-ze lo-ka-mu ne-ko-mu ka-ko" — he placed the tool into the container (S071)
