CLASScls.spa.preposicion

preposición

An invariable closed-class word that takes a nominal complement and marks the relation between that complement and something else.

The preposition is invariable and closed, and its membership is a list rather than a rule: roughly two dozen simple forms, with new relations expressed by fixed phrases built out of the existing members instead of by new members. Its behaviour is almost entirely selectional. A preposition requires a complement, that complement may be a noun phrase, a stressed pronoun or an infinitive, and a stressed pronoun in this position takes a shape reserved for it. The one place the preposition shows morphology of its own is at the boundary with what follows, where two of the members fuse with the masculine singular definite article into a single written word. That fusion is obligatory and it is the only contraction the orthography of the language records.

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.preposicion, 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.

  • what tells them apartA preposition governs a nominal complement and forces the stressed pronoun shape on it; a conjunction joins two units of the same rank, or attaches a clause, and imposes no shape on either side. Several fixed subordinators are built from a preposition plus a subordinating particle, which is where the two classes are hardest to separate.

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.

None in this view. This subgraph happens to be a tree, which the explorer draws as one without assuming it is one.

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.

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.
