CLASScls.spa.clitico-dativo

clítico dativo

An unstressed pronoun that expresses an indirect object and marks number but not gender.

The dative sub-class has two forms in the third person, one for each number, and it marks no gender at all. It has one behaviour no other sub-class has: before an accusative form it is replaced by a shape identical to the reflexive, so the number distinction it does mark is lost in exactly the environment where two unstressed pronouns meet. That replacement is obligatory, and it is not a phonological process, since the two shapes it applies between are not phonologically close. Membership is stored and the class is closed.

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

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.clitico-dativo, 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.

Confusable with

class.confusable

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.

  • CLASSclítico acusativocls.spa.clitico-acusativodocumented

    what tells them apartThe dative marks number alone and the accusative marks gender as well, so the two sets differ in information and not only in role. The two are hardest to tell apart for a masculine animate direct object, where a widespread pattern uses the dative form and the choice is conditioned by variety rather than by the grammar of the clause.

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.

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.
