Cross-language soul-concept lane
Diaphragm / Seat of thought
The phrenes — the midriff as the physical organ that is also the seat of thought and feeling.
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.
