First use Matthew 5:14 ("you are the light of the world" — the world as the human realm that can be illuminated; metaphor anchored in pa-zo-li as the inhabited human domain).

Composition

pa (place/territory) + zo (living thing) + li (person) = territory of living-persons. Default right-branching: pa modifies [zo-li]; zo-li (W148) = human-class organism = living person. pa-[zo-li] = the place of human-organisms = the human inhabited world.

Definition

the world; the inhabited realm; the place of human persons; the domain of human social life and presence. The territorially-bounded region characterized by the presence of human living-persons. Roughly Greek kosmos in its spatial/social sense. Complements pa-be (upper space / heaven) in the theological-cosmological pair.

Notes

pa-zo-li is the social/inhabited world, not merely the physical earth. Contrast: pa-ma = material-ground / earth-substance (the physical planet) pa-zo-li = the world as inhabited human territory In Matthew 5:13 the "earth" in "salt of the earth" uses go-pa-ma (of the material ground). pa-zo-li is the social-register "world" in 5:14 (light of the world) and 6:10 (thy kingdom come — the world that needs the coming). Cosmological pair: pa-be (upper space, heavenly realm) :: pa-zo-li (lower space, human realm). These form the Matthew 5–7 theological axis.

pa (primitive: place/territory), zo-li (W148: human person), pa-be (upper-space compound), pa-ma (material earth, distinct), pa-be'ka-li-su (W125: kingdom of heaven)
