Vdomí

Vdomí is a term that appears in speculative discussions of spatial semantics and in some fictional worldbuilding contexts to denote the interior space of a bounded object as perceived from within. It is not an established term in standard reference works, and its use is limited to niche academic writings and creative writing.

Etymology and form: The word is not standardized in any major language tradition. It resembles a blend of a Slavic preposition meaning “in” (similar to v-) with a root that evokes home or interior space, plus a suffix that gives it a nominal or adjectival flavor. Because vdomí is a neologism, there is no universally accepted spelling, morphology, or grammatical status.

Semantic role: In discussions of spatial relations, vdomí is used to describe a region inside the interior of an object that is accessible or perceptible from within, distinguishing it from exterior areas or boundary-adjacent zones. It serves as a conceptual tool to illustrate how languages or fictional systems encode interior locality, perspective, and interior boundaries.

Uses in theory and fiction: In theory, vdomí can be invoked to compare how different linguistic or cognitive systems encode interior space relative to an observer inside the object. In fiction, worldbuilders might use vdomí to describe interior architecture, volumes, or affordances of containers and spaces in a consistent internal logic.
