The word grading a long adjective, and at the same time the graded shape belonging in full to two separate quantifiers with nothing in it to separate them.

In front of a base it is the analytic counterpart of the suffix and does the identical work for a different set of words, and the split between the two series is conditioned by the shape of the base rather than by its meaning. Standing on its own it is the graded shape of the quantifier used with a mass noun and of the quantifier used with a count noun alike, and those are two words: they differ in what they combine with, they differ in their plain shapes, and they converge here. A shape belonging to two words is filed once with an edge to each. Nothing derives it from either base, so it is declared irreducible.

The rule that exempts it is filed now, and the shape points at it, so the arbitrariness is declared rather than merely left standing. The edge is filed against the quantifier reading and not against the grading reading, because it is the quantifier reading that nothing derives: in front of a long base the shape is doing the regular work of the analytic series, which is not arbitrary at all.

An empty list, which is an assertion: this rests on nothing external, and somebody checked. It is not the same as nobody having looked.

The paradigm cell

form.cell

Where this form sits in a paradigm. A form that sits in none carries no cell, which is a fact about the form and not a gap.

This form sits in no paradigm. cell is optional exactly so that a form outside a paradigm can say so (03-schema.md §8.3).

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

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.

  • OPERATIONsuppletive comparisonopr.eng.suppletive-comparisondocumented
    • reasonThe suppletion rule names which common words hand their graded steps to an unrelated word, and declares a coverage of zero for them because it never predicts what that word looks like. This shape is that residue twice over: it is the graded step of two separate quantifiers at once, drawn from neither plain shape, so one form belongs to two words and nothing connects it to either. The work it does standing in front of a long base is a second job and is not what makes it arbitrary.
