CLASScls.spa.articulo

artículo

A determiner that marks definiteness alone, with no descriptive content, and that contracts with two prepositions.

The article is the smallest and most grammaticalised sub-class of the determiner, and it shows behaviour no other determiner does. Its definite member fuses with two prepositions into a single written word, which is the only obligatory contraction the orthography records. Its feminine singular form is replaced by the masculine one before a noun beginning with a stressed low vowel, while every adjective agreeing with the same noun stays feminine, so the article's shape and the noun's gender come apart in that one environment. Both behaviours are properties of this sub-class alone, which is what earns it a class of its own beneath the determiner.

An empty list, which is an assertion: this rests on nothing external, and somebody checked. It is not the same as nobody having looked.

Openness and membership

Whether the class can be listed at all, and whether its members are written down or worked out.

DataTableLAN-59 (component) / LAN-198 (route)not built yet

DataTable itself is built and exported, but its home for a closed class is not this object page — it is the roster route /words/cls.spa.articulo, and that route does not exist yet (LAN-198, "Build /words/<class-slug>"). This mount names a component with nowhere on the app to receive it, not a component missing props: this section has everything DataTable needs (the class id, its exhaustive-count verification), and there is still no page to hand it to.

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.

      A closed-class word that stands before a noun and fixes its reference, agreeing with that noun in gender and in number.

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.

What kinds of this object there are

Walking the `is-a` edges that point at this object: what kinds of it there are. An object reachable two ways is drawn in both places and is still one object.
