Part of speech

cls.spa.adverbioread 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.

Frequency rank

not recorded

Gloss

The degree word marking that a quality is held to a lesser extent, the first element of the negative comparative frame.

The counterpart of the word marking a greater extent, and it builds the same two structures in the same way, with a connective for the thing compared against and an article for the superlative reading. The language has no single word comparatives on this side except the pair that serves both directions for age and rank.

Paradigm

No form-ofedge names this lexeme, so there is no recorded paradigm to draw — a fact about this graph’s content today, not a claim that the word has no inflection.

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.
