The stone is uncarved — this word has no glyph yet. The place was prepared before the carving.
Definition
Renunciation-as-received-ordinance — the third station (maqām) of the Sufi path: the stable disposition of letting go of the permitted (ḥalāl) when attachment to the permitted distracts from single-hearted focus on God; received not as self-imposed austerity but as cosmic ordinance.
Evidential structure
No morpheme decomposition is carved in canon for this word — the cathedral does not guess one from its shape.
