First use SOL-001, Ars Goetia binding (S673): la-Solomon ka-be-ne lo-wi-ra-li lu-ko-mu

Composition

ka (deliberate action) + be (growth/increase) + ne (relation/bond) = deliberately grow a bond. Right-branch parse: ka-[be-ne] = deliberate-[bond-formation]. Triple structure: intention (ka) → generative direction (be) → relational outcome (ne). Direct antonym pair: ka-be-ne / ka-ne-de (W092).

Definition

bind; deliberately create a bond. The intentional act of establishing a relational constraint between entities — compelling the bound party into a persisting connection from which it cannot exit unilaterally. Antonym: ka-ne-de (W092, deliberate bond dissolution / unbinding). The be- root encodes that the bond is actively grown into existence; the result is ne (relation/bond) — not a natural or incidental connection but one created by deliberate act. Applies in magical contexts (binding spirits), legal contexts (imposing obligation), and any setting where a persisting relational constraint is deliberately established.

Notes

SOL-001 first attestation (S673). Formed by analogy with ka-ne-de (W092: deliberate bond dissolution). The pair is productive: ka-be-ne = bind / create constraint; ka-ne-de = unbind / dissolve constraint. The be/de axis on the ne root gives a full creation–dissolution spectrum for intentional relational acts.

ka (primitive: deliberate action), be (primitive: growth/increase), ne (primitive: relation/bond), ka-ne-de (W092: deliberate bond dissolution — antonym), ko-ne-mu (W176: chain/shackle — physical artifact of binding), ne-to-fe (W165: covenant — bounded agreement, a different kind of created bond)
