verbo

A word that predicates, marking tense, aspect, mood and voice of its own and agreeing in person and number with a subject.

The verb is the open class that carries by far the largest paradigm in the language. Four of the distinctions it marks belong to it outright: tense, aspect, mood and voice are properties of the verb form itself, chosen by the speaker rather than copied from anything else in the clause. Two more are agreement. Person and number are read off the subject, so the same distinctions that are inherent in a pronoun arrive on the verb as copies. Finiteness cuts across all of them, since the infinitive, the gerund and the participle mark none of the first group and behave in the clause more like a noun, an adverb and an adjective than like a predicate. That last fact is why the infinitive converts to a noun with no morphology at all beyond a determiner in front of it. New verbs enter the class freely, and they enter it in the first conjugation.

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.
