CLASScls.spa.sustantivo-masculino

sustantivo masculino

A noun whose inherent gender is masculine, so every determiner and adjective agreeing with it takes the masculine shape.

Gender assignment is the noun's own property and this class is one of its two values. The correlation between the class and the final segment of the noun is strong enough to be worth stating and weak enough that it cannot be a rule, so membership is stored rather than computed. The class is open, since every new noun receives a gender on entry and this is the gender a borrowing takes when nothing about its shape or its meaning points the other way. The class is also the one that supplies the agreement value when a coordination mixes genders, and that is a fact about agreement rather than about the nouns in it.

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.

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.
