CLASScls.spa.plural-invariable

plural invariable

A noun whose plural is identical to its singular, with number marked only by the words agreeing with it.

The pattern is computed: a noun of more than one syllable ending in s or x, with the stress before the final syllable, keeps one form for both numbers, and number is carried entirely by the determiner and the adjective. The class is closed in practice, since the conditions are narrow and few new words meet them, though a borrowing that met them would join. Its interest is the same as that of the common gender nouns: it is a place where a distinction the language marks obligatorily has no exponent on the word it is a property of, so the record has to assert the absence rather than leave a cell blank.

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

class.openness

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.plural-invariable, 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.

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.
