First use DND-001, Necromancy (S606): de-zo-ki ne wi-ra-su lo-de-zo

Composition

de (decrease/ending) + zo (living thing) + ki (change/transformation). zo-ki = organism-change. de modifies zo-ki = death-realm organism-transformation. Parallel structure to ge-ki (W187, quality-change): both are domain + ki.

Notes

W186. First attested DND-001 (S606). Builds on de-zo (W178), the death-event compound. The separation of de-zo (event) and de-zo-ki (art) is intentional: de-zo is what happens; de-zo-ki is the magic that works in that domain. de-zo patient in S606: lo-de-zo = "death-event" as the domain/patient.

de (primitive), zo (primitive), ki (primitive), de-zo (W178 death-event), wi-ra-su (W179 magic)
