Composition

ka-be-ne (W218: deliberate bond-creation) + du (result/child role) = bond-created child. Head-final: du (result, child-role) is head; ka-be-ne specifies that the child relation is created by deliberate bond rather than by biological kinship. The compound is deliberately parallel to zo-ne-du (W078: biological child).

Definition

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

Notes

Symmetric counterpart to ka-be-ne-go (W250). Registered from CKN-001 and reinforced by CKN-002, where it survived intimate second-person address rather than only third-person labeling. Contrast: zo-ne-du (W078) = biological child; ka-be-ne-du = adopted or chosen child.
