to need : tɔwə̄
Base Function: verb, noun
Definition:

Need; need; request

Definition:
State in which something is attracted to a point that has not yet been reached, indicating the existence of an expected fit or a proper place that remains open. Expresses need as guidance and ingressive calling, not as lack or lack.

Etymology:

Iconic formation composed of tɔ (point, target), marked by ingress (̊), indicating inward attraction, followed by wə̄, a sequence of smooth and open articulation that expresses continuity without resolution. The set represents a point that calls before movement and accommodation.

Semantic contrast:

  • tɔ̊wə̄ — open need (call)

  • tɔuh — effective displacement

  • huə̄ — accommodation completed

Example:
  • La tɔ̊wə̄ s̆im.
    (He needs the thing.)
  • Wamɛ tɔ̊wə̄ mab.
    (We need the word.)

  • S̆imoh tɔ̊wə̄ tɔ.
    (Everything needs the point.)

  • = need
  • = require
  • = necessity
  • = requisition
