OPERATIONopr.spa.pluralizacion

pluralización

The process that turns a singular noun or adjective into its plural counterpart by adding a segment whose shape the singular's own ending decides.

The operation reads the singular's final segment and writes one of three outcomes: a single consonant after a vowel, a two-letter segment after a consonant or a stressed vowel, and nothing at all for the invariable class. The three outcomes are the three plural classes the graph already carves, which is why the operation is stated once over the classes rather than once per word. Two things it does not do are worth stating plainly. It does not decide class membership, which is stored on the word and which the final segment predicts strongly but not without exception. And it does not decide where the plural is realised in a phrase, since every dependent word in the phrase carries the plural too, and that copying is agreement rather than pluralisation.

No salience. Where no frequency source applies the object carries none, rather than a default or a guess (03-schema.md §3.5).

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.

triggertrigger

A noun, adjective, determiner or pronoun is used with plural reference, or stands in a dependency on something that is.

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 2 of 3enumerated

The invariable class, whose members take no segment at all, so their number is stated only by the words depending on them and never by the word itself.

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.

multi-parent
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.
