| First use | Matthew 5:29–30; 6:22–23; 7:3–5 (Matthew uses "eye" extensively). |
Composition
se (perception/detection) + lu (light) = perception-of-light = the organ that detects light. Head-final: lu (light) is head; se specifies the relationship — this is a perception-entity in the light domain.
Definition
eye; the visual perception organ; the organ of light-perception. The biological structure that performs se (perception) in the domain of lu (light) = the light-perceiving organ.
Notes
High-frequency body term. Matthew 5:29 ("if your eye causes you to stumble"); 6:22 ("the eye is the lamp of the body"); 7:3–5 (speck/plank in the eye). The compound is needed across all three chapters.
In 6:22: lo-se-lu lu-mu go-ko-zo = the eye is the light-body of the body-interior = the lamp (lu-mu) of the body (ko-zo).
se-lu is the visual organ; for a broader sensory organ the pattern would be se-[domain] for each sensory modality (se-so for the sound-
perception organ = ear, hypothetically).
