OPERATIONopr.spa.mocion-de-genero

moción de género

The derivation of a feminine word from a masculine one by replacing or adding an ending, available for words that denote people and many animals.

Two mechanisms compete for one job. A word may derive a second form, in which case the word itself states the distinction, or it may keep one form and let the determiner and the adjective state it, in which case the word does not. Which mechanism a word uses is stored, not predicted, and the operation covers only the first. This is derivation and not inflection, which matters because the derived form is a separate word with its own entry rather than a cell in a paradigm. Some derived pairs have drifted far enough apart in meaning that treating them as one word with two genders would state something false, and that drift is the ordinary consequence of a derivational relation rather than a defect in it.

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

What it does, and when it fires

operation.rule

The domain it works in, and the firing condition as a sentence. The checkable form of that condition is the selects group below.

A word denoting an animate being is used of a female referent and belongs to a class whose ending alternates.

How much it covers

operation.coverage

How many cases the operation actually derives, out of how many it claims, and how that was counted.

derives 1 of 2enumerated

The common gender words, which have no second form to derive and express the distinction on the determiner and the adjective alone, so the contrast is carried outside the word rather than inside it.

every case was counted

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.

None in this view. This subgraph happens to be a tree, which the explorer draws as one without assuming it is one.

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.
