Composition

pa (place/territory) + mi (self/speaker) = place-of-me = here. Structural mirror of ti-mi (W109: now = time-of-me). The deictic pair is formed by the same pattern across spatial and temporal domains.

Definition

here; this place; the speaker's location; spatial deictic for the place coinciding with the speaker at utterance time.

Notes

Both deictic anchors (W109, W110) fell out of the primitive set without any design effort — the self-anchoring pattern was latent. The symmetry of ti-mi / pa-mi was discovered in a CVCC candidacy evaluation (March 2026) when "now" was tested against the Assemblage-First Rule.
