First use Matthew 6 (6:2, 6:5, 6:16 — thrice in a single chapter).

Composition

si (signal/representation) + no (negation) + vo (value/quality) + li (person) = person-of-valueless-signal = a person whose signals lack the value they claim. Head-final: li (person) is head; si-no-vo = the kind of signal-person: one whose signals are value-depleted.

Definition

hypocrite; a person of valueless signal; one whose outward communication does not match their inner state or intentions — one who signals goodness without possessing it. Greek hupokritēs (actor, one who plays a role).

Notes

si-no-vo-li is the full noun. The adjective compound is si-no-vo — "hypocritical" or "of false-signal character." The personification -li builds on the standard person-formation pattern. Matthew 6 uses the word six times total (6:2, 6:5, 6:16, 23:13+); it is a high-frequency term for this theological corpus. Related construct: si-no-zo-to = signal-without-matching-soul-pattern could express the specific sense of an actor who plays a role different from their identity. This is a stronger/more specific reading if needed; si-no-vo-li is the general "false-signaler" form.
