Someone does something (Agent)...
...from somewhere (Source / Cause)...
...using something (Instrument)...
...in a certain way (Quality)...
...toward somewhere (Destination)...
...to something (Patient).
This diagram shows the parts of an action, and serves as a mnemonic for the rikchik relation symbols. In left-to-right order, they are:
Someone does something (Agent)...
...from somewhere (Source / Cause)...
...using something (Instrument)...
...in a certain way (Quality)...
...toward somewhere (Destination)...
...to something (Patient).
As an example, the sentence on the right side of this page uses all of these to say, "A rikchik happily moves a human from a home to a tree using water" or, more literally, "Rikchik, from home, using water, in happy way, toward tree, human, moves."
Not every relation is meaningful to every action, and these are used in connections that are not noun-to-verb, but this is the basic meaning of each.
This covers all the primary relations but two: these are:
Includes: The first word includes or
contains the collecting word
End: The word is considered resolved.
