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

'Beka' (clip: 'bek') means 'to place' or 'to put'. This feels more appropriate for introducing a name and associating it with a value. Needs native speaker confirmation to ensure it doesn't have unintended connotations in a programming context.

Issue breakdown

  • accuracy While 'vumela' (to allow/permit) isn't *incorrect*, it doesn't strongly convey the idea of introducing a name into scope. It feels a bit indirect.
  • specificity Lacks the directness of 'declare' or 'define'.
