Luke 14:28a ... "For who out of-you wanting to-home-build a-tower, ..."

Verse 28 has 3 phrases and 17 dialog words. The 1st phrase has these 7 words ... Tis gar eks humōn thelōn purgon oikodomēsai ("Who for out of-you wanting a-tower to-home-build, ...").

Jesus now meets the 3rd green-eyed man from verse 25, one of three men who want to build a tower. The 7 dialog words are bottom up from two brown-eyed men to the floor of the look-out, then up to the feet of Jesus on the roof. The 4 words "Tis gar eks humōn" ("Who for out of-you") are tangent to the 3 men on the ground who want to build the tower. The two brown-eyed men will not be the ones building it. The verb "oikodomēsai" (to-home-build) is prefixed with the noun "home" because the tower is made from the same 6 triangles as the sign of a house. The sign of a tower and a house both have the same area like the hexagon and the tower in the next diagram.
