The stone is uncarved — this word has no glyph yet. The place was prepared before the carving.

Definition

A form/instance of projection from the realm of meanings into any medium, as received-ordinance: a word, a song, an icon, a dance, a ritual sequence, a built form, a structured silence — each is a morphame in its specific medium, received as cosmic-gift form-bestowal.

Evidential structure

No morpheme decomposition is carved in canon for this word — the cathedral does not guess one from its shape.
