LOGOI

Cross-language soul-concept lane

Heart

The heart as bodily organ and as seat of feeling, courage, and inward resolve.

Every membership below carries a live evidence receipt, and every receipt says what kind it is: a published lexicon gloss, a named authority statement, or an unreviewed machine-proposed passage alignment. Those are not the same weight and are marked apart below. A membership without any receipt does not render.

A lane groups words that scholarship reads together. Nothing here says two words mean the same thing, that one translates another, or that any token maps to any token.
