orden de clíticos

The fixed sequence unstressed pronouns take when more than one attaches to a verb, decided by the class of each pronoun and never by its role in the clause.

The order runs reflexive, then dative, then accusative, and it holds whatever the pronouns are doing in the clause. That is the whole content of the rule and it is worth stating as a rule rather than as a chart, because a chart of attested sequences records the same fact once per row and hides the single principle underneath. The principle is that order is read off class membership. A dative precedes an accusative because it is a dative, not because an indirect object precedes a direct one, and the two statements come apart wherever a clause has the roles in the other arrangement. 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. One further consequence: because the sequence is fixed, a cluster is a unit, and every rule that moves a pronoun moves the whole cluster.

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.

Two or more unstressed pronouns attach to the same verb.

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 3 of 3enumerated

None among the three sub-classes, whose relative order is fixed. What the operation does not state is what happens when two pronouns of one sub-class meet, a combination the grammar does not allow at all, so it is excluded rather than covered.

every case was counted, and the count closes: nothing is left over

Confusable with

operation.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 apartPlacement decides which side of the verb the whole cluster sits on. Ordering decides the sequence inside the cluster. The two are settled independently, and a cluster keeps its internal order whichever side of the verb it lands on.

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.

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.
