Composition
fe (boundary/limit) + vo (value/quality) — value defined by a boundary that restricts casual access or use. Head-final: vo (quality) is head; fe specifies the character of the value as boundary-protected.
Definition
sacredness; the quality of being set apart; boundary-protected value.
Notes
The Tonesu framing of "sacred" is structural: fe-vo is not a supernatural designation but a description of a quality that prohibits casual crossing. An object or place is fe-vo when approaching or using it without authorization violates a recognized boundary. Extends beyond religion: classified information is fe-vo; a sealed tomb is fe-vo; a legally protected space is fe-vo. Contrast: fe-no-ka (W056) is the boundary itself defined by prohibition; fe-vo is the quality predicated of an entity that carries such a boundary.
