Composition

zo-ne-go (parent, W077) + re (recurrence/cycle) — the parent compound with iteration: the origin step recurs up the lineage. Head-final: re (recurrence) qualifies the parent compound.

Definition

ancestor; a person from whom the reference person biologically descends through one or more intermediate generations; the recurringly-iterated kin-source.

Notes

Non-specific about generation distance. zo-ne-go-re covers grandparent, great-grandparent, and all more distant ancestors equally. Specifying degree requires either a numeral system (not yet in corpus) or a multi-sentence path description. See NUM-001 in open-questions.md. Contrast: zo-ne-go (W077) = exactly one step back (parent only).
