Composition

fe (boundary) + no (negation) + ka (deliberate action) — bound whose crossing is prohibited. Head-final: fe (boundary) is head; no-ka (no-action = prohibition) modifies it to specify the character of the boundary.

Definition

forbidden boundary; taboo; a limit defined by its prohibition against crossing.

Notes

The prohibition is structural, not agentive: fe-no-ka encodes the boundary's property (it is a no-action boundary) rather than asserting who declared the prohibition. Extends across institutional, cultural, physical, and mystic contexts. Tonesu's most natural expression of "taboo" — the cultural prohibition is encoded as a boundary characteristic, not as a rule from an authority.
