Composition

wi (will/intention) + si (signal) — an intentional signal constituted by will. Head-final: si (signal) is head; wi specifies that origin and content are the will itself.

Definition

prayer; will-signal; an intentional signal whose content is the will or intention of the sender.

Notes

Distinct from ka-si (W024, transmit: directed signal with information content) and si alone (signal). wi-si is the specific case where the will is both the means and the message. In secular Tonesu use: any signal whose content is the sender's intention rather than information (a command-wish to an unresponsive system, a vow, a declaration of intent to an absent party). In religious use: directed toward a deity or doctrinal structure.
