Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

'Hyɛ' (to put/place) better conveys the act of introducing a value into a name/identifier. It's more active and direct than 'ma' in this context. It also aligns better with the concept of assignment.

Issue breakdown

  • accuracy While 'ma' (give/allow) isn't *incorrect*, it's a bit weak for the binding sense. It doesn't strongly convey the introduction of a new name.
