First use Genesis 1:26–27 ("let us make mankind in our image" and "God created mankind in his own image" — in both verses the origin-frame marker precedes the compound: go-be-go-li-si = from/after the creator-representation).

Composition

be (growth/emergence/generation) + go (cause/origin) + li (person) + si (signal/representation) = signal/image that emerges from a person-cause. Default right-branching: be modifies [go-li-si]; go-li-si = person-origin-signal = a representation/signal that originates from a person. be-[go-li-si] = the emergent/generated form of a person-origin-signal = the image produced from/by its originating person.

Definition

creator-representation; image; the emergent structural likeness of the one who brought something into being; the form in which a created thing bears the mark of its creator's nature. Hebrew tselem (image/likeness) in Genesis 1:26–27: "in our image." Any representation that is structurally produced by and corresponds to a personal creative origin.

Notes

In the corpus construction: go-be-go-li-si = from/after the creator-representation = "in the image of the creator." The go particle here marks origin-frame: humanity's form originates after / corresponds to the creator-representation. be-go-li-si is not a generic si (signal/representation) — it specifically encodes the causal relationship: be-go = generated- from-origin; li = person; si = representation. A representation produced by a creative person-origin. The Hebrew tselem covers images, statues, likenesses; all are structural instances of be-go-li-si. Note on "established THO-001": this compound was developed during the THO theological-attribute batch work (pre-Matthew), but first received a W-number in this intake.
