CLASScls.spa.adjetivo

adjetivo

A word that modifies a noun and takes its gender and its number from that noun rather than carrying either one of its own.

The adjective inflects for exactly the two distinctions the noun supplies, and it supplies neither of them itself. Its gender and its number are agreement values, copied from the noun it modifies or from the subject it predicates over, which is why one adjective appears in up to four shapes and why a change of noun changes the adjective with no change of meaning. Degree is the one distinction the adjective owns. Comparison is expressed by a separate word before the adjective in the ordinary case and by a suffix in the intensive case, and both are choices made about the adjective rather than values read off something else. An adjective converts to a noun by taking a determiner and nothing more, and a small set of adjectives convert to adverbs by appearing after a verb in the invariable masculine singular shape.

Objects a reader is likely to mix up with this one, and the difference that separates them. The edge is symmetric and stored once, so this renders on both objects' pages from the one statement.

  • CLASSadverbiocls.spa.adverbiodocumented

    what tells them apartAn adjective agrees in gender and number with a noun; an adverb is invariable and enters no agreement chain at all. Where the two share a form, the test is whether the word changes shape when the noun it sits near changes.

Everything joined to this object

One group per typed edge, in both directions. A1b guarantees no object node is an orphan, so this is the whole navigation: an object with no edges would have failed the build rather than reached this page.

What this object is a kind of

Walking this object's own `is-a` edges: what it is a kind of. Several branches from one object are several classification axes, not competing supertypes.

Siblings are listed by name, then by id to break ties. That is a display choice made here and not an order the graph asserts.

Fan-out per dimension

A4

One row per dimension, largest first. That is a display order, not a verdict: 03-schema.md declares no threshold above which fan-out is too much, so this reports the count and grades nothing.
