OPERATIONopr.spa.preterito-fuerte

pretérito fuerte

The formation of a preterite on a stem of its own, which carries the stress in the first and third person singular instead of leaving it on the ending.

A strong preterite differs from a regular one twice over. It has a stem the rest of the paradigm does not use, and the stress in two of its six cells sits on that stem rather than on the ending, which is what makes those two cells lack the written accent a regular preterite carries. The same stem carries both forms of the imperfect subjunctive and the future subjunctive, so the three paradigms stand or fall together and the operation is stated once over all of them. Stress placement is stated here as a claim about where the accent is written, since the graph records orthography and not sound.

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 verb of the strong preterite class forms a cell of the preterite or of anything built on the preterite stem.

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 paradigms the stem reaches. The operation does not derive the stem, which is listed per verb, and it does not say why the stress sits on the stem rather than the ending, which is a historical fact with no node here to point at.

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

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.
