Composition

vo (value/quality) + mu (artifact/physical object) = value-artifact = a physical object defined by its value-bearing function. Clothing is the canonical example: it exists to confer warmth, covering, or social value upon its wearer. Head-final: mu (artifact) is head; vo specifies that this artifact belongs to the value-domain.

Definition

garment; clothing; a value-bearing artifact worn on the body; any fabric or material item worn to confer warmth, covering, or social-aesthetic value. The paradigmatic artifact whose purpose is value-expression through covering. Greek himation (outer garment / cloak) and the general clothing class in Matthew 6:28–30.

Notes

SOL-002 first attestation (proposed → active). First explicit corpus use in the construction yim-vo-mu (white garment) as the prescribed ritual garment in Greater Key preparations (S680: la-to-ra-li ne ne-fe lo-yim-vo-mu). The Matthew 6:28–30 comparison is structurally clean: both Solomon’s vo-mu (crafted value-artifact) and the lily’s display express vo (value/quality); the lily’s is natural (not-mu), Solomon’s is crafted. vo-mu covers: robes, cloaks, everyday clothing — any worn artifact serving value-expression functions.
