First use Matthew 6:13 (Lord's Prayer: "lead us not into temptation" = lo-yu fa-wi-de no-wi).

Composition

fa (affective substrate) + wi (will/intention) + de (decrease/harm) = affect-will-toward-decrease = the felt directedness of desire toward harm. Head-final: de (decrease) is head, specifying what the affect-will is oriented toward.

Definition

temptation; the affective state in which desire (will) is directed toward something harmful (decrease). The pull of the affective substrate in the direction of harm; the interior experience of being drawn toward wrong action. Greek peirasmos (trial, temptation, testing).

Notes

fa-wi-de-ki = entering temptation state (inchoative); the most common form in use: "don't lead us into fa-wi-de-ki" = into the state of being tempted. The "-ki" form signals the onset of the temptation experience, not just temptation as a concept. Compare: fa-wi-zi (W128 area; desire-to-couple = lust) — that is a specific sub-type of fa-wi toward a specific target (coupling). fa-wi-de is the general form covering any affect-desire directed at harm.

fa (primitive: affect), wi (primitive: will), de (primitive: decrease), fa-wi-zi (desire-to-couple / lust, SOM translation — see Notes)
