Composition
di (direction/orientation) + ki (motion) + li (social agent) — a person whose defining work is directed movement. Head-final: li (person) is head; di-ki (directed motion) specifies the domain of expertise.
Definition
navigator; one who works with directed motion; a person whose role is pathfinding and movement guidance.
Notes
di-ki = directed motion = navigation as activity type. The navigator is the person who performs di-ki as their social role. Distinct from ra-ki-li (pilot, W012-derived: energy-motion-person) — the pilot operates a power system; the navigator directs a course. In Tonesu mecha context: pilot manages the physical drive system; navigator manages the spatial path. Both may be the same individual in a small vessel.
