Translation Test: Scrambled Eggs Recipe
Source: Standard scrambled egg recipe (generic public-domain procedural form)
Status: Founding set (EGG-001)
Purpose
A scrambled egg recipe extends the procedural instruction register established
in CKG-001 (chocolate chip cookies) to a shorter, thermally simpler cooking
sequence. The key structural difference is the end-state: scrambled eggs
complete at a soft, under-set state (no-ha-su) rather than at full
structural completion (be-su). This tests whether the phase-tracking vocabulary
established in CKG-001 extends to the inverse direction: the target is not
full thermal structuring but a deliberate interruption before it occurs.
Primary tests:
du-zo-ki(egg) as compositional first use — by direct parallel with W142du-zo-su(fruit = plant-structural-result), the egg isdu-zo-ki= motile-organism-result. The symmetry is exact:du-zo-sunames what a plant produces;du-zo-kinames what a motile organism (bird) produces.- W227
su-ha-mu(cooking pan) — the open-surface counterpart to W214ko-ha-mu(oven). Thesu/kodistinction encodes open-arrangement vs. enclosed-containment, covering all stovetop cooking. ma-ki(stir) vs.ma-ne-ki(mix) — two distinct matter-motion operations now attested.ma-ne-ki(W215) = combine toward unity (lu-su-neresult);ma-ki= maintain matter-in-motion (no relational target).go {su-ti [state]}conditional — first conditional triggered by a physical state snapshot, not an agent's action or causal chain.ha-zo-ra-ma ne vovs.ha-zo-ra-ma ne be-su— two distinct recipe- completion verdicts now in corpus: quality (scrambled eggs) vs. structural completion (baked cookie). The same ingredient term (ha-zo-ra-ma, W216) ends in different states depending on cooking method.
Corpus sentences: S720–S725
Vocabulary Framework
New entry: W227
| W# | Form | Written | Reading | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| W227 | su-ha-mu |
suhamu |
cooking pan / stovetop cooking surface | su (structure) + ha (heat) + mu (artifact). The open structured heat-conducting vessel. Complement to W214 ko-ha-mu (oven). |
The su-ha-mu / ko-ha-mu structural contrast:
| Form | W# | Composition | Key root | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ko-ha-mu |
W214 | ko + ha + mu |
ko (containment) |
oven: encloses food in heated space |
su-ha-mu |
W227 | su + ha + mu |
su (structure) |
pan: open structured surface conducts heat |
The ko/su distinction maps perfectly to the cooking category: enclosed thermal
treatment (oven) vs. direct open-surface thermal transfer (stovetop). No other
vocabulary difference is required.
Compositional first uses (no W-entry)
| Form | Written | Reading | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
du-zo-ki |
duzoki |
egg (animal/bird result) | du (result) + zo-ki (motile organism: W143/primitive) — parallel to W142 du-zo-su (fruit) |
pa-su-ha-mu |
pasuhamu |
at/on the pan (spatial locative) | pa- locative prefix + su-ha-mu (W227) — parallel to pa-ko-mu (at bowl) and pa-ko-ha-mu (in oven) |
ma-ki |
maki |
stir; matter in continuous motion | ma (matter) + ki (motion) — distinct from ma-ne-ki (W215) |
no-ha-su |
nohasu |
not-thermally-set; soft; still fluent | no (negation) + ha-su (thermally-set, established CKG-001 S663) |
du-zo-ki derivation note: W142 du-zo-su is the canonical previous instance:
du-zo-su (W142) = du (result) + zo-su (plant: zo living + su structure) = the
result of the non-motile/structured organism = fruit
du-zo-ki = du (result) + zo-ki (motile organism: zo living + ki motion = animal/bird)
= the result of the motile organism = egg
su vs. ki modifier on zo:
plants are zo-su (structured/non-motile life); animals are zo-ki (motile life).
Their products are du-zo-su (fruit) and du-zo-ki (egg). No new primitive or W-entry
needed — the productive pattern was already established.
ma-ki vs. ma-ne-ki distinction:
| Form | Composition | Target state | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
ma-ne-ki (W215) |
matter + relation + motion | lu-su-ne (harmony) |
mixing, combining, blending until unified |
ma-ki |
matter + motion | none | stirring, agitating, continuous motion without relational target |
The difference is whether the action has a relational endpoint. ma-ne-ki is
telic: it aims at unity (ne encodes the relational target). ma-ki is atelic:
it continues without a terminal state. Scrambled egg stirring is atelic — you stir
continuously until you judge the moment to stop, not until you reach a defined state
of matter-unity.
Structural Findings
1. go {su-ti [state]} — conditional on state-check
Grammar §Conditional: go {premise}, result where the premise is a causal or
conditional ground. Prior corpus uses put agent actions, causal chains, or abstract
conditions inside go {}. EGG-001 S724 is the first to place a state-snapshot
test inside go {}:
su-ti no-ha-su = W101 (state-snapshot) in the soft/uncompleted state. The
premise is not "agent does X" but "the food is currently in state Y." The ki
result-clause fires when that state holds. This is a physical state monitor
encoded as a Tonesu conditional: the cook watches for the state, and when it's
present, acts. It is different from all prior go {} uses:
| Prior pattern | Type |
|---|---|
go {la-X V} |
agent-action premise |
go {fa-no} |
impersonal affective state (MAP-001) |
go {to-go {...}} |
hypothetical/counterfactual |
go {su-ti Y} |
physical state observation — EGG-001 first |
2. Inverted phase arc: not-set as target
CKG-001 establishes the canonical cooked-food arc:
EGG-001 establishes the inverted arc:
The target of EGG-001 is specifically to NOT reach ha-su (thermally-set)
or be-su (fully complete). The no-ha-su state IS the success state. This is
the first recipe arc where the process must be stopped before thermal completion.
It formally represents the food-science principle: scrambled eggs are done when
they are still slightly underdone by the heat of the pan, because carry-over
cooking will finish them.
3. Two recipe-completion verdicts
The corpus now has two distinct ways to say a cooked food is done:
| Verdict | Form | Meaning | Food |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structural completion | ha-zo-ra-ma ne be-su |
the food is fully formed | cookies (CKG-001 S664) |
| Quality completion | ha-zo-ra-ma ne vo |
the food has worth/readiness | scrambled eggs (EGG-001 S725) |
be-su = growth-structure = the food has grown into its final structural form.
vo = worth = the food is in the state that makes it valuable/ready/good.
Scrambled eggs are not structurally complete in the way a baked good is — they
are a soft semi-fluid mass. Their "doneness" is purely evaluative (quality),
not structural.
Step-by-Step Translation
S720 — EGG-001-A — Beat the eggs
Written: maneki loduzoki pakomu lusune
Parse:
- ma-ne-ki — W215: combine/mix (matter-relational-motion)
- lo-du-zo-ki — patient: the eggs (du result + zo-ki motile organism)
- pa-ko-mu — in/at the bowl/vessel
- lu-su-ne — result: structural harmony (W174) = until uniformly beaten
Notes: First use of du-zo-ki. Structure identical to S660 (cookie mixing of wet
ingredients): same compound (ma-ne-ki), same container (pa-ko-mu), same target
(lu-su-ne). The beating action combines the yolk and white into a uniform mixture —
the lu-su-ne result marks exactly this endpoint. Instruction register: agent dropped
(address = immediate cook).
S721 — EGG-001-B — Heat the pan, add fat
Written: haki losuhamu ; ki losu'mazorama pasuhamu
Parse:
- ha-ki — heat up / thermal change
- lo-su-ha-mu — patient: the pan (W227, first attestation)
- ; — sequential connector (heat first, then add fat)
- ki — move / transfer
- lo-su'ma-zo-ra-ma — patient: solid food material (butter/fat)
- pa-su-ha-mu — at/on the pan (spatial locative)
Notes: W227 su-ha-mu first use. ha-ki lo-su-ha-mu = heat the pan (bare imperative,
agent dropped). ; marks the sequence: the pan heats, then fat is added — the fat
needs the hot surface. su'ma-zo-ra-ma = solid food material = butter at room/cold
temperature. The butter's phase transition to liquid (ki'ma-zo-ra-ma) is implicit
in the subsequent heating. pa-su-ha-mu = at/on the pan, paralleling pa-ko-mu and
pa-ko-ha-mu from CKG-001.
S722 — EGG-001-C — Add beaten eggs to pan
Written: ki loduzoki pasuhamu
Parse:
- ki — move / transfer (agent-dropped imperative)
- lo-du-zo-ki — patient: the eggs (beaten, from S720)
- pa-su-ha-mu — into/onto the pan
Notes: The simplest recipe step. Pour the beaten egg mixture into the fat-lined pan.
ki lo-du-zo-ki pa-su-ha-mu mirrors the cookie batch's ki lo-zo-ra-ma-su pa-ko-ha-mu
(S663: move dough into oven) in argument structure (ki + patient + location). The
difference: the container is su-ha-mu (open pan), not ko-ha-mu (enclosed oven).
S723 — EGG-001-D — Stir the eggs
Written: maki loduzoki pasuhamu
Parse:
- ma-ki — stir; matter in continuous motion
- lo-du-zo-ki — patient: the eggs
- pa-su-ha-mu — in/on the pan
Notes: ma-ki = matter-motion (first use). Structurally parallel to ma-ne-ki
(W215) but without the relational (ne) intermediate root. ma-ki is pure
matter-displacement: move the eggs around, continuously, without target unity.
The absence of lu-su-ne (no harmony endpoint) encodes the atelic nature of
stirring: the cook doesn't stir until "done" in any relational sense — they stir
until they judge the thermal state appropriate for removal.
S724 — EGG-001-E — Remove when still soft
Written: go {suti nohasu}, ki lohazorama
Parse:
- go {} — conditional/causal frame
- su-ti — W101: state-snapshot predicate
- no-ha-su — not-thermally-set (soft/uncompleted)
- , — boundary between premise and result clause
- ki — move (off heat)
- lo-ha-zo-ra-ma — patient: the cooked food (W216, first use in this batch)
Notes: The food is now ha-zo-ra-ma (W216: thermally-treated food) — it has
been transformed by the pan heat from du-zo-ki (raw eggs). The go {su-ti no-ha-su}
conditional fires when the state-check passes: the eggs are still in the uncompleted
state. The instruction is: at precisely this moment, remove. This is the first
corpus instance of a conditional triggered by a physical state observation rather
than an agent action or causal chain. Encodes the food-science principle: scrambled
eggs carry over from residual pan heat after removal, so the target removal point
is before full thermal completion.
S725 — EGG-001-F — Done: quality verdict
Written: hazorama ne vo
Parse:
- ha-zo-ra-ma — W216: thermally-treated food (the scrambled eggs)
- ne — property copula
- vo — quality/worth (primitive)
Notes: Recipe-completion marker: the cooked food has worth = is ready. Contrasts
with CKG-001 S664's completion marker ha-zo-ra-ma ne be-su (the food is structurally
complete = fully baked). Scrambled eggs do not complete by structural formation — they
complete by achieving a quality state (soft, glossy, cohesive but not rubbery). ne vo
= has the property of quality = is ready/good. The same root word (ha-zo-ra-ma)
opens both verdicts; what changes is the predicated property: be-su (structural
completion, cookie) vs. vo (quality/worth, scrambled egg).

New vocabulary: W227 su-ha-mu (cooking pan: open structured heat-artifact).
Compositional first uses: du-zo-ki (egg); pa-su-ha-mu (at/on the pan); ma-ki (stir); no-ha-su (not-thermally-set).
Key structural findings: First go {su-ti [state]} conditional on state-check. Inverted phase-arc (target = no-ha-su, soft, not be-su). Two recipe-completion verdicts now attested: ne be-su (structural completion, CKG-001) and ne vo (quality completion, EGG-001).
