le

The unstressed third person indirect object pronoun, marking number but not gender, and replaced by the reflexive shape before a direct object pronoun.

The shape marks number and not gender, which is where the indirect series and the direct series come apart: four shapes against two, so the two sets do not stand in a one to one correspondence. Its most interesting property is that it disappears. Where an indirect and a direct object pronoun of the third person meet, this shape is replaced rather than reordered, and the replacement is a substitution no other pair in the system undergoes.

No salience. Where no frequency source applies the object carries none, rather than a default or a guess (03-schema.md §3.5).

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).

Confusable with

form.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 apartThis shape is the direct object pronoun and marks gender; the other is the indirect object pronoun and does not. A widespread pattern uses the indirect shape for a masculine animate direct object, and that pattern is the reason the boundary between them is a matter of variety rather than a settled fact.

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.
