Composition

ka-be-ne (W218: deliberate bond-creation) + go (source/origin role) = bond-created parent. Head-final: go (source, parent-role) is head; ka-be-ne specifies that the parent relation is created by deliberate bond rather than by biological kinship. The compound is deliberately parallel to zo-ne-go (W077: biological parent).

Definition

adoptive parent; chosen parent; the parent-role established by deliberate bond-creation rather than by biological descent. A person who stands to the reference person as parent through recognized relational formation, not through zo-ne-go biological origin.

Notes

Registered from the chosen-kinship probe after CKN-001 and CKN-002 confirmed that the ka-be-ne-* family remains legible outside glossary contrast and inside live dialogue. Contrast: zo-ne-go (W077) = biological parent; ka-be-ne-go = adoptive or chosen parent. The form is sex-neutral, matching the rest of the Tonesu kinship system.
