OPERATIONopr.spa.acentuacion-grafica
acentuación gráfica
The rule deciding whether a word carries a written accent: it appears exactly when the stressed syllable is not the one the word's last letter predicts.
The writing system predicts stress from the last letter and marks only the words that disagree with the prediction, which makes the accent a statement about a mismatch rather than a statement about stress. That is the fact worth having, because it explains why the accent moves within a paradigm while the stress does not, and why adding a plural segment can add or remove an accent without anything about the word's pronunciation changing. No source this graph carries states this rule, and it is asserted here from the language's own behaviour rather than taken from a reference that states it; whether any reference states it explicitly has not been checked by the author of this node. There is a limit on this node that is worth naming rather than hiding: this graph records no pronunciation at all, so the stress the rule compares against exists nowhere in the data, and the operation relates a written mark to something the reader has to supply.

What it does, and when it fires
operation.ruleThe domain it works in, and the firing condition as a sentence. The checkable form of that condition is the selects group below.

trigger A word is written, and the syllable that carries its stress is compared with the syllable its final letter predicts.
How much it covers
operation.coverageHow many cases the operation actually derives, out of how many it claims, and how that was counted.
derives 2 of 3estimated
Words stressed earlier than the second syllable from the end, which always carry the accent and so are not decided by the comparison at all, and separately the one-syllable words that carry an accent to hold two spellings apart rather than to mark stress.
the number is an estimate and nothing counted it
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
A4One 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.
