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.

Gloss
The negative temporal particle marking that a situation holds at no relevant time, requiring the negative particle when it follows the verb.

The clearest illustration of the multiple negation pattern the polarity record describes, because the two orders are both ordinary and the particle appears in one and not the other. Two negative elements in one clause express one negation, which is the fact the record says it does not treat as a second polarity value.

Paradigm

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

  • nuncaThe negative temporal word for no relevant time at all, the marked member of a pair with the word for every relevant time.

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.
