MULTI-WORD EVIDENCE LAB
PAIRWISE LAB ↗CONNECT
THE WHOLE
FAMILY.
Ask how several words are related. *SET-U computes pairwise shortest paths, then builds a compact spanning forest from cited lexical edges. A shared person or text may bridge islands, but it is never mislabeled as ancestry.
Distinct forms in the spanning evidence network.
Distinct cited lexical relationships used.

COMPACT DOES NOT MEAN CERTAIN
Every resolved pair is searched through the undirected reviewed graph, bounded at 12 edges.
Cited ancestry, borrowing, derivation, and semantic continuation paths are preferred over historical-context bridges.
The shortest available pair paths are greedily selected until each connectable word belongs to one network.
This is a compact evidence view, not a claim that scholarship has one uniquely minimal family tree.
