Composition

to-ko (memory/stored knowledge, W027) + re (return/cycle, primitive) = memory-return = the act of returning to what is stored in memory = remembrance/anamnesis.

Definition

remembrance; commemorative memory-return. The deliberate or ritual act of returning to stored knowledge of a person or event. Specifically: the Eucharistic anamnesis (ἀνάμνησις) — not merely recalling, but actively re-presenting the founding event. The re (return/cycle) element captures the recurring re-enactment dimension: each performance is a return to the founding event.

Notes

The founding command of the Eucharist runs on one new compound carrying an ancient theological weight. to-ko-re encodes the Eucharistic structure: a deliberate act performed for the purpose of epistemic return (to-ko-re) to the founding speaker. The suffix -mi (my/mine) on to-ko-re gives "my remembrance" = the remembrance directed at/belonging to the speaker. Not "remember generally" but "remember me" = to-ko-re-mi. CLQ-EXT candidate: ka-to-ko-re-mi (deliberate-remember-me) as a compressed liturgical token; gated on 3 independent natural corpus attestations.
