| First use | Star Wars, Jedi Code line 5 (S592): no-de-zo ne / ara ne |
Composition
de (decrease/end) + zo (living thing) = organism-decrease. Head: zo (it IS a living thing that undergoes); de specifies direction of change (decrease to zero).
Definition
Death; dying; the natural or non-deliberate cessation of a living thing. Organism-decrease — the process by which a living entity (zo) diminishes to the point of cessation (de). Non-agentive: death happens to an organism; not performed by an agent.
Notes
de-zo is non-agentive (natural or accidental death). The agentive form is ka-de-zo (W128, deliberate killing). Referenced in W128 notes but first explicitly attested here. The Jedi Code: no-de-zo ne / ara ne = "no dying / universal-energy prevails." Death is not replaced by zo-ra (W117, life-energy) but by ara, the universal substrate itself.
