cls.spa.pronombreread 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 unstressed pronoun that carries reflexive, reciprocal, argument removing and subjectless readings, and also replaces a dative before another unstressed pronoun.

This is the most heavily loaded word in the closed classes. It removes a participant where an event is presented without a doer, directs an action back onto the subject, distributes it among the members of a plural subject, supports a clause with no expressed subject, and stands in for the third person dative before an accusative pronoun of the same series. Three separate records in this graph reach for it: the voice record, the valency record and the case record. What settles the reading is the verb and the context rather than anything in the form, which is why one word covers several of the values the voice dimension lists and the graph does not attempt to split it into homophones.

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.
