posición del clítico
The rule placing an unstressed pronoun before a finite verb and after an infinitive, a gerund or an affirmative command, written as one word in the second case.
A finite verb takes the pronoun in front of it and writes it as a separate word. An infinitive, a gerund and an affirmative command take it behind and write it joined. The negative command behaves as a finite verb and not as a command, which is not an exception but a consequence: it is built on the subjunctive, so the rule reads the shape and gets the right answer without a special case. 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. What the operation leaves open is the verb chain, where both positions are available and the choice depends on the finite verb, so a reader who takes the rule as fully deciding placement will be right for a single verb and under-informed for two.

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.

domain syntacticit arranges or constrains words in a structure- trigger
trigger An unstressed pronoun is used with a verb, and the shape of that verb decides which side of it the pronoun attaches on.
How much it covers
operation.coverageHow many cases the operation actually derives, out of how many it claims, and how that was counted.
derives 4 of 5enumerated
A chain of a finite verb and a non-finite one, where the pronoun may stand before the first or after the last and both are grammatical. The operation does not say which is chosen, and that choice is not free of consequence, since not every finite verb permits the pronoun to move.

Confusable with
operation.confusableObjects 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.

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.

reasonAn affirmative directive attaches its clitics after the verb and writes them joined to it, against the general rule that places a clitic before a finite verb.
reasonA clitic belonging to the infinitive may attach to the finite auxiliary instead, which the general placement rule does not predict, and the two positions are equally grammatical across the family.
