Purpose: First-attest W217 (wi-ra-li, spirit/directed-force-agent) and W218 (ka-be-ne, binding/deliberate bond-creation) in corpus sentences. Source: the framing narrative of the Ars Goetia (Lesser Key of Solomon). Tests: authority construction via DIP-001 ne+property pattern, numeral phrase in patient slot, result slot as destination (lu-ko-mu), instrumental go-si, proper-name agent and group NP, and causal nominalization with juncture (go-ka-no-ko'ko-mu).

S672 la-Solomon ne wi-ra lo-yom bun nu wi-ra-li Solomon held authority over 72 spirits of directed power.

Notes

Authority construction via DIP-001 pattern: la-X ne wi-ra lo-Y = X holds directed-power over Y. wi-ra (W177) serves as the mediating property connecting agent to patient via ne. Numeral phrase in patient position: lo-yom bun nu wi-ra-li = "patient: 72 (7·10+2) directed-force-agents." The lo- prefix attaches to yom, the first element of the number phrase; wi-ra-li (W217) is the patient head. W217 first attestation.

S673 la-Solomon ka-be-ne lo-wi-ra-li lu-ko-mu Solomon bound the spirits, confining them in a vessel.

Notes

W218 (ka-be-ne, deliberate bond-creation) first corpus attestation. lu-ko-mu uses the result/beneficiary slot as a spatial destination: the vessel is what the binding produces/fills. The antonym ka-ne-de (W092, deliberate bond dissolution) gives the full bind/unbind pair.

S674 la-Solomon ka-fe-si lo-ko-mu go-si Solomon sealed the vessel with his sign.

Notes

ka-fe-si = deliberately-impose-boundary-signal = seal (compositional: ka + fe-si W024; no registry entry). go-si = "by means of / originating from signal" = instrumental use of go-. The causal origin of the sealing is Solomon's sign/mark; agent identity makes si unambiguous.

S675 la-li-Bavel se-ka lo-ko-mu The Babylonians found the vessel through investigation.

Notes

li-Bavel = person-of-Bavel = Babylonian (Bavel = Hebrew name for Babylon). Group NP with la- agent prefix: Babylonians-as-agent. W034 (se-ka, examination/deliberate inspection) fits: the Babylonians were excavating the buried pit deliberately, not stumbling upon it.

S676 la-li-Bavel ka-no-ko lo-ko-mu The Babylonians opened the vessel.

Notes

ka-no-ko = deliberately-act-toward-no-containment = open a sealed container. Compositional: ka (deliberate) + no (negation) + ko (containment/interior). No new vocabulary required.

S677 la-wi-ra-li ki go-ka-no-ko'ko-mu The spirits moved forth, [released by] the opening of the vessel.

Notes

go-ka-no-ko'ko-mu = "caused by [the opening]-of-[the vessel]." First go-[action'object] causal nominalization in the corpus: ' juncture binds the action compound ka-no-ko to its object ko-mu; go- takes the resulting nominalized event as its causal argument. ki (motion, primitive) — direction unspecified; narrative context supplies the outward reading.

Coverage: W217 (wi-ra-li) and W218 (ka-be-ne) first attested; authority-over construction (ne + property + lo- patient); numeral phrase in patient position; lu- as spatial destination; instrumental go-si; proper-name group NP; first go-[action'object] causal nominalization.

Key finding: The Ars Goetia binding narrative translates into six clean sentences with two new compounds. S677's go-ka-no-ko'ko-mu demonstrates that ' juncture can bind an action to its object inside a go- causal frame — causal nominalization is available without new grammar.

SOL-002 ·

Purpose: Translate the preparation ritual of the Clavicula Salomonis (Book II): timed ritual operations, purification, white garments, instrument-making, consecration, and the first pentacle description. Key tests: proper-noun time-slot pattern (ti-re-Saturn, ti-re-Mercury), ne ne-fe prescription framing, ka-fe-vo compositional consecration, W137 (vo-mu, garment) activation from proposed → active, W219 (fe-vo'si-ko-mu, pentacle/consecrated inscribed object) first attestation.

S678 ti-re-Saturn : la-to-ra-li ka lo-wi-ka In the Saturn time-slot, the practitioner performs the ritual work.

Notes

First use of the proper-noun time-slot pattern: ti-re-[Planet] = the recurring time-slot attributed to that planet by tradition. ti-re (W103, recurring time / scheduled cycle) is modified by the proper noun Saturn as a tradition label — the sentence does NOT assert that Saturn cosmologically governs the hour; it names the slot by received convention. The : topic frame ([topic] : [comment-clause]) handles temporal framing: "as for the Saturn time-slot: perform the ritual." wi-ka (W054) as patient = "the ritual work." to-ra-li (W207, wizard/mage) = the ritual practitioner.

S679 gal nu lu-ti : la-to-ra-li ne ne-fe ka-no-de-su lo-su-ti For three day-periods, the practitioner must cleanse their current state.

Notes

Duration topic frame: gal nu lu-ti (three day-units, using lu-ti W140) as the sentence-initial topic = "for three days." ne ne-fe = holds as requirement (positive prescription, DIP-001/SUT-001 pattern extension). ka-no-de-su lo-su-ti = "deliberately remove fault from [this person's] current state" — su-ti (W101) used reflexively as the object of purification: the practitioner's current state is what must be cleansed. Connects W120 (forgiveness/removal-of-fault) with W101 (state-snapshot) in a purification context.

S680 la-to-ra-li ne ne-fe lo-yim-vo-mu The practitioner must [wear] white garments.

Notes

W137 (vo-mu) first corpus attestation — status promoted from proposed (⚠️) to active (✅). yim-vo-mu = white-garment compound: yim (CVC color, white) modifies vo-mu (W137, garment). ne ne-fe lo-yim-vo-mu = "holds as requirement: white garments." The lo- prefix on the required object marks what is required rather than what is acted upon — the garment is the thing the requirement bears on (wear/have/be-in-relation-with), with the precise relational mode determined by context. First attestation of color yim (white) in a compound modifier position.

S681 ti-re-Mercury : la-to-ra-li ka lu-ka-mu In the Mercury time-slot, the practitioner makes the instruments.

Notes

Second use of the ti-re-[Planet] pattern — confirming it is productive across the planetary-hour system without requiring separate entries per planet. lu-ka-mu = result slot: instruments — "acts, producing/resulting in instruments" = makes/prepares the instruments. Compare lu-ko-mu from S673 (result as container for bound spirits) — here lu- carries a creation result. The pair S678/S681 establishes that the planetary-hour system maps onto distinct ti-re slots by proper-noun modification.

S682 la-to-ra-li ka-fe-vo lo-ka-mu go-wi-ka The practitioner consecrates the instruments through ritual.

Notes

ka-fe-vo = deliberately make sacred = consecrate. Compositional: ka (deliberate action) + fe-vo (W065, sacredness / set-apart quality). No new registry entry required — the composition is transparent. go-wi-ka = "by means of / originating from ritual" (W054, ritual / structured intentional practice) = instrumental go- with the ritual as the causal mechanism. lo-ka-mu = patient: the instruments. The three-stage preparation: make instruments in Mercury hour (S681) → consecrate through ritual (S682) → use the resulting pentacle (S683).

S683 la-fe-vo'si-ko-mu-Saturn ne wi-ra lo-wi-ra-li-Saturn The pentacle of Saturn holds directed power over the spirits of Saturn.

Notes

W219 (fe-vo'si-ko-mu, consecrated inscribed object / pentacle) first corpus attestation. The ' juncture is mandatory — without it the chain defaults to right-branching fe-[vo-si-ko-mu] (a "value-document-vessel" reading), which loses the sacredness feature. With the juncture: [fe-vo]'[si-ko-mu] = [[sacred]-[inscribed-artifact]] = pentacle. Proper-noun modification: -Saturn appended to both the pentacle (fe-vo'si-ko-mu-Saturn = the Saturn-attributed pentacle) and the spirits (wi-ra-li-Saturn = Saturn's spirits) — the planet name is a tradition-label, not a metaphysical claim. The authority construction ne wi-ra lo-Y is the same pattern as S672 (Solomon's authority over spirits) — the pentacle functions as a non-person authority holder.

Coverage: ti-re-[Planet] proper-noun time-slot pattern (S678, S681); ne ne-fe prescription framing (S679, S680); W137 (vo-mu, garment) activated from proposed; W219 (fe-vo'si-ko-mu, pentacle) first attested; ka-fe-vo compositional consecration; non-person authority holder (pentacle as ne wi-ra lo-Y subject).

Key finding: The Greater Key's planetary-hour timing system compresses into a single productive pattern (ti-re-[Planet]) without importing Western astrology's cosmological ontology. The ritual preparation arc (time → purify → dress → make instruments → consecrate → use) translates into six sentences using exclusively existing vocabulary plus one new artifact class.
