cls.spa.adjetivoread off the URL segment (in turn parsed from the LEXEME id by lib/routes.ts’s posAndLemmaOf), because Lexeme carries no pos field yet (LAN-217/LAN-274). This route is built to prefer node.data.pos as the field once that migration lands; until then, the id is the only source and this line says so rather than hiding it.

Gloss
The adjective for large, shortened before any singular noun it precedes and changing its reading with its position.

The adjective belongs to the small closed set of words that lose a syllable before the noun they modify, and it is the only one in that set that shortens before either gender. Its position also changes its reading, since before the noun it is evaluative and after it is dimensional, which is a fact about the adjective class the graph states here rather than in a rule.

Paradigm

Non-finite forms (no person, so no coordinate in the five-column grid):

  • grandeThe full shape of the adjective for large, used after the noun it modifies and in the plural.
  • granThe shortened shape of the adjective for large, used immediately before a singular noun of either gender.

Class memberships

has-a edges to CLASS objects (06-surface.md §5.2) — the door back into the grammar. Subsumption (is-a) is not available here: it is same-type-only (A3), so a LEXEME cannot is-a a CLASS.

Examples

Each example declares its dialect and tier, per 06-surface.md §5.2 (“the interface ranks and labels rather than silently mixing registers”).

No examples are recorded for this lexeme (Lexeme.examples is optional; absent key = unstated, per lib/schema/nodes.ts’s own note — never a stub sentence invented to fill the section).

Where the grammar discusses this word

05-vocabulary.md §10.9’s own requirement: “a vocab entry links back to the grammar.” has-a edges to CATEGORY and inbound selects edges, both real graph edges rather than a generated cross-reference.

No CATEGORY membership or selects edge is recorded for this lexeme.
