lo

The shape both invariable determiners and the unstressed direct object pronoun claim, and the single clearest case of one surface belonging to two words.

This shape is the case the graph's own ontology work singles out. It is the invariable determiner that combines with an adjective to name a quality, and it is the third person unstressed direct object pronoun, and the question of whether the first of those is a word in its own right or a cell of the definite article's paradigm is disputed. The academy states the dispute and adopts a convention rather than settling it. On any of the available answers the shape belongs to at least two words, which is why it is filed once here with two edges to two words and never as two forms.

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.
