Translation Test: Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Status: Two passes — founding set (CKG-001) + measurement augmentation

Purpose

A cookie recipe is a procedural text: a sequence of physical actions, each specifying materials, a container, a thermal or mechanical transformation, and a terminal state. As a translation target, it tests Tonesu's ability to handle the instruction register, material-state vocabulary, and agent-dropped imperatives — domains the corpus has not exercised before.

Primary tests:

Instruction register (agent-dropped imperative): Recipe instructions do not name an agent. In Tonesu, this tests whether the la- marker can be dropped when the agent is the immediate addressee — and whether the resulting bare verb-compound reads naturally as a command rather than a description.
Material state vocabulary: Cooking divides ingredients by phase state: wet (liquid phase) vs. dry (solid/powder phase). Tonesu has ki'ma (W114, liquid) and su'ma (W113, solid state of matter). This batch tests whether those existing primitives cover the wet/dry ingredient distinction at recipe-instruction scale.
Double lo- patient with ne coordinator: Combining two ingredient classes in one instruction requires encoding two simultaneous patients. This batch tests lo-X ne lo-Y as a joint-patient construction — the first in the corpus.
Artifact agency: The oven (ko-ha-mu, W214) acts as the causal agent of thermal change in the baking step. This tests whether la-ko-ha-mu (artifact as agent) reads as a coherent Tonesu sentence.
Phase-change tracking: The batch distinguishes zo-ra-ma-su (structured food mixture = dough, pre-thermal) from ha-zo-ra-ma (W216, thermally-treated food = baked good, post-thermal). The state change of the material is encoded in the compounding, not in a verb tense.

Secondary tests:

Sequential connector ; in procedural chaining (S663).
su-ne (W174, harmony) and be-su (completion) as procedural goal-states.
lu- result-frame marking the target state of a mixing or baking action.

Corpus sentences: S659–S664

Vocabulary Framework

Three new compounds coined for this batch:

W#	Form	Written	Reading	Notes
W214	`ko-ha-mu`	`kohamu`	oven / thermal containment device	`ko` (containment) + `ha` (heat) + `mu` (device). The device defined by containing heat for cooking. Right-branch: `ko-[ha-mu]` = containment-[heat-device].
W215	`ma-ne-ki`	`maneki`	mix / combine	`ma` (matter) + `ne` (relation) + `ki` (motion). The motion that brings matter into relational unity. Right-branch: `ma-[ne-ki]` = matter-[relational-motion] = the action of relating matter through physical motion. Covers mixing, folding, combining, blending.
W216	`ha-zo-ra-ma`	`hazorama`	baked food / thermally-treated food	`ha` (heat) + `zo-ra-ma` (food, W144). Right-branch: `ha-[zo-ra-ma]` = thermal-[food] = food that has undergone the thermal transformation = any baked or cooked food. Distinct from `zo-ra-ma` (food, general); carries the `ha-` marker that encodes the transformative heat step.

Matter-state vocabulary in this batch (composable, no new W-entries):

Form	Written	Reading	Source
`ki'ma-zo-ra-ma`	`ki'mazorama`	liquid food materials (wet ingredients)	W114 + W144
`su'ma-zo-ra-ma`	`su'mazorama`	solid/powdered food materials (dry ingredients)	W113 + W144
`zo-ra-ma-su`	`zoramasu`	structured food mixture (dough)	W144 + `su` (primitive)
`ha-su`	`hasu`	thermally set / heat-structured state	`ha` + `su` (both primitives)
`de-ha-ki`	`dehaki`	cooling / thermal decrease action	`de` + `ha` + `ki` (all primitives)
`be-su`	`besu`	completed formation / done	`be` + `su` (both primitives)

Structural note — zo-ra-ma-su: Read as zo-ra-ma (food, W144) + su (structure, primitive) = structured food material = the mixed dough before baking. The su suffix here marks the formation into a unified material mass (the output of mixing = the structured substrate ready for thermal treatment).

Structural note — no-ne-ko-mu: A composable modifier for "separate vessel": no (negation) + ne (relation) + ko-mu (W052, vessel). The unrelated / unconnected vessel = the second bowl. First use in S661.

Source Text

Standard chocolate chip cookie recipe (generic procedural form)

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

In a bowl, mix the liquid ingredients (butter, eggs, vanilla) until creamy.

In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, leavening).

Combine the wet and dry ingredients together and mix until unified.

Place portions of the dough on a baking surface in the oven; bake until set.

Remove the baked goods from the oven; cool; the cookies are complete.

Step-by-Step Analysis

S659 — CKG-001-A: Preheat the oven.

ha-ki  lo-ko-ha-mu

Written: haki lokohamu

Natural reading: Heat-change the containment-heat-device.

Notes: Opening instruction. Bare-verb imperative: no la- agent; the cook is the immediate addressee. ha-ki = thermally change = heat up; composable from ha (thermal state root) + ki (motion/change). ko-ha-mu (W214) first attestation. The instruction register in Tonesu drops the agent marker when the agent is the unambiguous immediate addressee — identical to the imperative drop in many natural languages. Temperature specification would add lu-ha-nu-[value] (result: heat-quantity-[level]); omitted here for procedural-register clarity.

S660 — CKG-001-B: Mix the liquid food-materials in the vessel until structurally unified.

ma-ne-ki  lo-ki'ma-zo-ra-ma  pa-ko-mu  lu-su-ne

Written: maneki loki'mazorama pakomu lusune

Natural reading: Combine the liquid food-materials in the vessel, result: structural harmony.

Notes: W215 (ma-ne-ki) first attestation. ki'ma-zo-ra-ma = liquid food material (W114 + W144) = the wet ingredients (butter, eggs, vanilla extract). pa-ko-mu = in/at the vessel = in the bowl. lu-su-ne = result: structural harmony (W174) = until the mixture is harmoniously unified (well-combined, emulsified, creamy). The lu- result frame marks the target state of the instruction: the cook is not just told to mix, but told what the successful end-state looks like. su-ne (W174, harmony = structure-of-relation) earns its meaning here: the butter-and-egg mixture reaches harmony when the components are structurally integrated, not merely stirred together.

S661 — CKG-001-C: In a separate vessel, combine the solid food-materials.

pa-no-ne-ko-mu  ma-ne-ki  lo-su'ma-zo-ra-ma

Written: panonekomu maneki losu'mazorama

Natural reading: At the unrelated vessel, combine the solid food-materials.

Notes: no-ne-ko-mu = un-relation-vessel = a vessel with no bond to the previous one = a separate bowl. pa-no-ne-ko-mu sentence-initially marks the new location; the topic shift from bowl-one to bowl-two is encoded in placement, not in a new clause. su'ma-zo-ra-ma = solid-matter food = the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, baking soda/powder). su'ma (W113 = solid state of matter) + zo-ra-ma (W144 = food); the juncture ' marks it as a pre-bound subcompound: [su'ma]-zo-ra-ma = solid-state-[food material] = the food materials in solid/powdered phase.

S662 — CKG-001-D: Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.

ma-ne-ki  lo-ki'ma-zo-ra-ma  ne  lo-su'ma-zo-ra-ma

Written: maneki loki'mazorama ne losu'mazorama

Natural reading: Combine [liquid food materials] bonded-with [solid food materials].

Notes: First double-patient construction in the corpus. Two lo- patients joined by ne (relational particle): lo-X ne lo-Y = patient X bonded-to patient Y = X and Y jointly as the patient of the combining action. The ne between the two lo-NPs marks them as jointly constituting the input — mixing is not done to X and separately to Y, but to X-together-with-Y as a bonded pair. Compositionally: ma-ne-ki (combine) requires two inputs that become one; ne between the patients is semantically motivated (the ne in ma-ne-ki anticipates the ne that joins its inputs). The cook folds the dry ingredients into the wet until unified.

S663 — CKG-001-E: Place the dough in the oven; the oven bakes it until set.

ki  lo-zo-ra-ma-su  pa-ko-ha-mu ;  la-ko-ha-mu  ha-ki  lo-zo-ra-ma-su  lu-ha-su

Written: ki lozoramasu pakohamu ; lakohamu haki lozoramasu luhasu

Natural reading: Move the structured food-matter to the oven; the oven heat-changes the structured food-matter, result: thermally set.

Notes: Two-clause sequential (;). Clause 1: bare imperative — place the dough (zo-ra-ma-su = structured food material = the mixed dough, formed into the structured mass ready for baking) in the oven. Clause 2: first artifact-as-agent construction in this batch — la-ko-ha-mu gives the oven agent-marking. The oven is not merely a location (pa-ko-ha-mu); it is the causal agent of the thermal transformation. ha-su = thermally-structured = the state of being heat-set = the physical state of baked cookies (set, structured by heat, no longer plastic dough). lu-ha-su = result: heat-set = until the dough reaches the thermally-structured state. The ; between the clauses marks the sequence: placing comes first; the oven's action is temporally subsequent and causally initiated by the placement.

S664 — CKG-001-F: Remove the baked food; cool; the baked good is complete.

ki  lo-ha-zo-ra-ma ;  de-ha-ki ;  ha-zo-ra-ma  ne  be-su

Written: ki lohazorama ; dehaki ; hazorama ne besu

Natural reading: Move the thermally-treated food [from oven]; thermal decrease; the thermally-treated food is completed-formation.

Notes: W216 (ha-zo-ra-ma) first attestation — the phase-change transition. In S663 the material was zo-ra-ma-su (raw structured dough). In S664, after the oven's thermal action, the same material is now ha-zo-ra-ma (thermally-treated food = the baked good). The vocabulary change tracks the ontological change: the cookie is no longer dough; it is a new entity defined by its thermal history. de-ha-ki = decay- heat-change = the thermal decrease = cooling; composable from de (decrease/decay) + ha (thermal state) + ki (change). be-su = growth-result-structure = the completed formation state = the state of being a fully produced artifact. The sentence also marks a procedural completion: ha-zo-ra-ma ne be-su = the baked food is [in its] completed-structure state = the cookies are done.

CKG-001 Findings

Finding 1: The instruction register drops la- when the agent is the immediate addressee. S659–S663 use bare verb-compound imperatives with no la- marker. The agent (the cook) is recoverable from context at zero cost. This is not an omission — it is the formal instruction register in Tonesu. S663 demonstrates the contrast: clause 1 has no la- (the cook places the dough); clause 2 has la-ko-ha-mu (the oven, not the cook, performs the baking). la- appears exactly when the agent is not the default addressee.

Finding 2: Wet/dry ingredient distinction uses existing matter-state vocabulary without new primitives. ki'ma-zo-ra-ma (liquid food = wet ingredients) and su'ma-zo-ra-ma (solid food = dry ingredients) compose from W114 and W113 respectively, both already attested in the materials-science batches. The matter-state system (ki'ma, su'ma, no-su'ma, ma-ra) generalizes seamlessly into the culinary domain. No new roots were needed to distinguish wet from dry.

Finding 3: Double lo- patient coordination with ne is composable and clear. S662's lo-ki'ma-zo-ra-ma ne lo-su'ma-zo-ra-ma encodes the two ingredient classes as a jointly-patient pair. The ne between the two patients is not a new grammar rule — it applies the relational semantics of ne to the patient slot. The construction reads: the combining action's input is the bonded pair of both ingredient classes. The ne in ma-ne-ki (the action) rhymes with the ne joining its inputs — showing how ne threads through multiple levels of the same sentence.

Finding 4: Artifact agency works — the oven earns its la- marker. la-ko-ha-mu ha-ki lo-zo-ra-ma-su = the oven heat-changes the dough. An artifact performing its designed function is a legitimate agent in Tonesu; the grammar does not restrict la- to animate agents. This follows from the la- agent frame being semantically about causal source, not animacy. The oven is the causal source of thermal change, so la-ko-ha-mu is structurally correct.

Finding 5: The phase change from dough to cookie is encoded in vocabulary, not in tense or aspect. zo-ra-ma-su (structured food mixture = raw dough) in S663 becomes ha-zo-ra-ma (thermally-treated food = cookie) in S664. Tonesu has no tense system; temporal sequencing is handled by ; and sentence order. The vocabulary itself carries the before/after: zo-ra-ma-su is the pre-thermal structure; ha-zo-ra-ma is the post-thermal result. The ontological transformation is visible in the compound.

CKG-001 Second Pass: Measurement Augmentation

Context: The source text specifies concrete measurements — a temperature (190°C), volume-based ingredient quantities (cups, teaspoons), a count (2 eggs), and an implied duration (10–12 minutes). This second pass demonstrates how the Tonesu anchor system encodes these quantities in the existing sentences. No new S-numbers or W-entries are assigned; these are analytical augmentations of S659–S664 showing the measurement vocabulary in culinary context.

Volume domain — first attestation: The anchor inventory defines base measurement domains (nu pa space, nu ti time, nu ma matter, nu ha heat) but not volume. Volume is enclosed space: ko (containment) + pa (space) → nu ko-pa = quantity of enclosed space. This is the first use of nu ko-pa as a compositional volume measurement domain. No new root entry is required.

Temperature augmentation (S659)

190°C = 463 K (rounded) → ~mol wes gal nu ha (approximately 4-6-3 heat-units)

ha-ki  lo-ko-ha-mu  [~mol wes gal nu ha]

Written: haki lokohamu [~mol wes gal nu ha]

Natural reading: Preheat the oven [approximately 463 kelvin].

Notes: The temperature is placed in an aside frame [...] — it contextualizes the ha-ki instruction without restructuring the predicate. ~ pre-poses the entire measurement block; mol wes gal = 4-6-3 positionally = 463. The approximation is appropriate on three grounds: (1) domestic ovens are imprecise instruments; (2) the source text's dual notation ("190°C / 375°F") signals that both values are practical approximations; (3) the kelvin value rounds from 463.15. The ~ also collapses the °C/°F distinction: Tonesu does not have a Celsius or Fahrenheit scale — only the kelvin-register nu ha. Both conventional temperatures point at the same thermal region; ~ marks that "approximately here" is what the instruction means.

The aside frame's removal-invariance is satisfied: stripping [~mol wes gal nu ha] leaves a valid instruction (ha-ki lo-ko-ha-mu). The measurement is a contextual gloss, not a structural argument.

Ingredient quantity augmentation (S660, S661)

Mass pattern — {digits} rim nu ma = grams (milli-kilograms). Preferred for solid ingredients.

Ingredient	Form	SI value
Butter (~1 cup)	`~bun gal nil rim nu ma`	≈230 g
Flour (~2¼ cups)	`~bun fon nil rim nu ma`	≈280 g
Granulated sugar (~¾ cup)	`~bol hin nil rim nu ma`	≈150 g
Brown sugar (~¾ cup)	`~bol wes hin rim nu ma`	≈165 g
Salt (~1 tsp)	`~wes rim nu ma`	≈6 g

Volume pattern — {digits} rim nu ko-pa = milliliters (milli-enclosed-space). First attestations of the nu ko-pa domain.

Quantity	Form	SI value
1 tsp (≈5 mL)	`hin rim nu ko-pa`	5 mL
2 tsp / vanilla (~10 mL)	`bol nil rim nu ko-pa`	10 mL
1 cup (≈240 mL)	`~bun mol nil rim nu ko-pa`	≈240 mL

Count:

Ingredient	Form	Reading
2 eggs	`bun nu zo-ra-ma`	2 food-items

Fractions — ru-pu constructor (first attested S247–S248) applied to volume:

Fraction	Form	Example
½	`ru-pu bun`	`ru-pu bun nu ko-pa` = ½ volume-unit
¼	`ru-pu mol`	`ru-pu mol nu ko-pa` = ¼ volume-unit
¾	`gal ru-pu mol`	`gal ru-pu mol nu ko-pa` = ¾ volume-unit
2¼	`zan ru-pu mol`	`zan ru-pu mol nu ko-pa` = 9/4 volume-units

The ru-pu system produces improper fractions for mixed numbers (2¼ → 9/4). This is the canonical Tonesu form — it avoids any need for a separate mixed-number syntax.

Augmented S660:

ma-ne-ki  lo-ki'ma-zo-ra-ma  [~bun gal nil rim nu ma  ne  bun nu zo-ra-ma]  pa-ko-mu  lu-su-ne

Written: maneki loki'mazorama [~bun gal nil rim nu ma ne bun nu zorama] pakomu lusune

Natural reading: Combine the liquid food-materials [~230 g of matter and 2 food-items] in the vessel, result: structural harmony.

Notes: The aside gives approximate butter mass and egg count — the two wet ingredients whose quantities bear most on recipe outcome. ne joins them inside the aside, mirroring the relational ne of ma-ne-ki. The ~ on the mass expression but not the count reflects actual precision: "2 eggs" is exact; "a cup of butter" is approximate by nature of volume-to-mass conversion.

Augmented S661:

pa-no-ne-ko-mu  ma-ne-ki  lo-su'ma-zo-ra-ma  [~bun fon nil rim nu ma  ne  ~wes rim nu ma]

Written: panonekomu maneki losu'mazorama [~bun fon nil rim nu ma ne ~wes rim nu ma]

Natural reading: At the separate vessel, combine the dry food-materials [~280 g of matter and ~6 g of matter].

Notes: Flour and salt are the two dry ingredients whose quantities most affect structure and flavor. The aside demonstrates the multi-quantity form with ne as the list connector inside the frame.

Bake time augmentation (S663)

Standard bake time: 10–12 minutes → ~bol bun nu re-ti-de (approximately 12 minutes)

ki  lo-zo-ra-ma-su  pa-ko-ha-mu ;  la-ko-ha-mu  ha-ki  lo-zo-ra-ma-su  lu-ha-su  [~bol bun nu re-ti-de]

Written: ki lozoramasu pakohamu ; lakohamu haki lozoramasu luhasu [~bol bun nu re-ti-de]

Natural reading: Move the structured food to the oven; the oven heat-changes the structured food until set [approximately 12 minutes].

Notes: re-ti-de = diminished recurring time = minute (first attested S249); bol bun = 1-2 positionally = 12; ~ marks "approximately" — standard for oven times, which vary by oven and dough thickness. The time expression is again in an aside frame: the structural content of S663 is the instruction and its thermodynamic result (lu-ha-su); the duration is contextual precision, not a structural argument. The result-condition (lu-ha-su) is primary; the time is a practical guide to when that condition is typically reached.

Second Pass Findings

Finding 6: nu ko-pa is the compositional volume domain; no new root is required. Volume = quantity of enclosed space = nu ko-pa. The pattern {digits} rim nu ko-pa encodes milliliters. This is the first attested use of nu ko-pa as a measurement domain, composing from primitives ko (containment) and pa (space), both already in the lexicon.

Finding 7: ~ does measurement-pragmatics work beyond simple uncertainty. In recipe context, ~ encodes that a quantity is a practical target, not a physical constant. ~mol wes gal nu ha means "heat to approximately this thermal region" — not "I'm vaguely uncertain about the number." The ~ also collapses the °C/°F distinction: both conventional scales point at the same thermal region, and Tonesu's kelvin-register nu ha with ~ captures the instruction's actual precision.

Finding 8: No new CVC, CVCC, or W-entry is required for recipe measurement. Every measurement in the recipe encodes through existing infrastructure: digit inventory (CVC-tier), rim (milli, ergonomic shortform), nu (quantity primitive), domain bases ma / ha / ko-pa, re-ti-de (minute, S249), and ru-pu fractions (S247–S248). Monday's measurement challenge is fully absorbed by established vocabulary.

Finding 9: Aside frames [...] are the natural integration site for measurement qualifications in instruction-register sentences. Recipes interleave instructions (bare imperatives) with specifications (temperatures, quantities, times). In Tonesu, these roles are structurally distinct: the imperative clause is the command; the measurement is the contextual precision. The [] frame isolates the measurement without restructuring the predicate. Removing the aside leaves a valid instruction; the frame provides the degree of precision a recipe reader needs — and nothing more.
