First use Matthew 5:9 (Beatitude: "blessed are the peacemakers" = lo-zo-li re-ka-ne-li vo).

Composition

re (recurrence/cycle) + ka (deliberate action) + ne (relation/bond) + li (person) = person-of-recurring-deliberate-bond-creation. Default right-branching: re modifies [ka-ne-li]; ka-ne-li = deliberate-bond- person = one whose intentional action is bond-building. re specifies that this is their characteristic recurring activity, not a one-off act.

Definition

peacemaker; one who habitually creates or restores bonds between parties; a person characterized by the recurring deliberate act of building and healing relational connections. Greek eirēnopoios (peace-maker). The person whose characteristic intentional activity is ne-creation: bringing separated or opposing parties into mutual relation.

Notes

The active, repeated nature of the peacemaker's work is encoded in the compound: re-ka specifies that bond-creation is the person's recurrent pattern, not an isolated gesture. "Making peace" in Tonesu is constitutively relational: peace = the state of bonds existing. The peacemaker is the agent who creates those bonds. Contrast ka-ne (a single bond-creating act) with re-ka-ne-li (the person for whom this is habitual). Extended form: re-ka-ne-su = the institution or practice of peacemaking.
