First use Genesis 1:24–26 ("the creatures that move along the ground" alongside zo-se-ne = livestock and wi-zo = wild animals).

Composition

ma (matter/material ground) + zo (living thing) + ki (motion/change) = ground-level-living-movement. Default right-branching: ma modifies [zo-ki]; zo-ki = living-movement = a living thing in characteristic motion. ma-[zo-ki] = ground-level living-mover = organisms that move at the level of the material ground = crawlers.

Definition

crawler; ground-moving creature; any organism that moves along the material ground; creatures characterized by movement at or near the surface of the earth. Hebrew remes (creeping/crawling things) in Genesis 1:24–26. The class of small or low-moving organisms.

Notes

ma-zo-ki completes the three-way land-animal taxonomy alongside zo-se-ne and wi-zo (W145). In Genesis 1:26 all three classes are objects of humanity's ka-li-su (W147: governance mandate): lo-zo ka-li-su = exercise governance over organisms. The class covers: insects, worms, reptiles, and any creature whose characteristic motion is at ground level. Contrast: zo-se-so-di (birds, KNM-005) for airborne organisms.

ma (primitive: matter/ground), zo (primitive: living thing), ki (primitive: motion/change), wi-zo (W145: wild animals), zo-se-ne (herd animals, KNM-007)
