CANONICAL LANGUAGE GRAPH
TRACE A WORD ↗title reference, word explanation, or learned wordplay depending on the witness
The earliest French records do not all instantiate the modern linguistic sense.
ANCESTRAL EDGES
etymology; explanation by origin
DIRECT DESCENDANT EDGES
study or explanation of the origin and historical development of words
Separates early spellings and special uses from the modern scientific sense.
ORIGINAL ↗Documents the current French endpoint.
ORIGINAL ↗TRANSITIVE DESCENDANT CLOSURE
This is the complete downstream closure currently supported by the canonical graph. Every displayed step is a real reviewed edge with its own sound claim, meaning claim, scholar, confidence, and citations.
“Every” means every descendant in the reviewed SET-U graph. It does not convert missing scholarship or missing ingestion into a claim of historical completeness. The coverage ledger remains the honest denominator.
