CLASScls.spa.plural-en-s

plural en s

A noun that forms its plural by adding s, the pattern taken by nouns ending in an unstressed vowel.

Plural formation is computed and not stored. A noun ending in an unstressed vowel takes this pattern, and no lexical listing is required for any member. The class is open, since it is the pattern a new vowel-final noun joins automatically. The three plural patterns partition the nouns of the language exhaustively, and adjectives and determiners form their plurals by the same three rules, so the patterns are not properties of the noun class alone even though they are declared under it here.

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.

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 word that names an entity and that carries a gender of its own, so that every word agreeing with it has to match that gender.

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.
