sos

The familiar singular present of the copula in this variety, a stored shape the operation that derives every other such form cannot produce.

The operation that produces a familiar singular present takes the infinitive, drops its final consonant and leaves the stress on the ending. Applied to the copula it would give a shape nobody uses. What the language has instead belongs to no pattern, and naming the operation it departs from is what makes the departure a statement rather than a silence. Every other verb in the language, regular or irregular, takes the operation's output in this cell.

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.

The paradigm of ser

Five person slots, not six. There is no tú row and no vosotros row: the dialect target is rioplatense-or-neutral, so the second person singular is vos, and widening the set is a type error rather than an editorial choice. Paradigm variant: the ordinary paradigm.

40 cells across 8 rows: 2 with a form, 0 disputed, 0 asserted gaps, 38 not written yet. The last two are opposite facts and never share a mark.

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.

  • FORMsosfrm.spa.sosFORM

    The familiar singular present of the copula in this variety, a stored shape the operation that derives every other such form cannot produce.

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.

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.

  • OPERATIONvoseoopr.spa.voseodocumented
    • reasonThe voseo operation derives a familiar singular present by moving the stress to the ending of a shape built on the infinitive. This shape is not built on the infinitive at all and could not be produced by that operation, so it is a stored cell inside the cell set the operation otherwise covers.
