First use S401 — la-si-ki-li'be-go-li lu lo-na-Moses ro-ra-lu-ki (the angel of the LORD appeared to Moses in fire)

Composition

si (signal/representation) + ki (motion/process) + -li (agent suffix) = signal-motion-agent = one who carries a signal by moving. Suffix stacking: root chain (si-ki) → role marker (-li). si-ki = signal-in-motion = a signal being transmitted. si-ki-li = the agent of that transmission = messenger.

Definition

messenger; envoy; one who carries a signal in motion. Any agent whose role is to transport a communication from one point to another. Hebrew malach (מַלְאָךְ) = messenger/envoy/angel — the same word used for human messengers and divine emissaries.

Notes

si-ki-li is the generic messenger compound; the qualified form si-ki-li'be-go-li = divine messenger = angel follows the same ownership/origin pattern as other be-go-li compounds. The Hebrew malach covers both human envoys and divine ones — si-ki-li correctly covers both by the same compositional reading.

si (primitive: signal), ki (primitive: motion), -li (agent suffix), be-go-li (creator-agent: the source in the qualified form), ra-lu-ki (W151: fire, the medium of appearance)
