Two related Pass 2 findings — both about UNSTATED reasoning behind
hard-coded lists in L1Reader.
Finding G — te'amim classification principle:
@melekh_marks and @mesharet_marks were lists of strings with no
documented rule for which marks belong to which class. A future
reader saw the lists but not the deliberation. Added classification
principle to the comment block:
- The diagnostic test: can the ta'am occupy a sof-pasuk-equivalent
position? → melekh. Does it only serve a following melekh? →
mesharet.
- The hierarchy of melakhim corresponds to syntactic depth
(sof_pasuk → etnachta → zaqef → tipcha → revia → …).
- Mesharetim precede their melakhim — the servant goes before
the king.
- The classification is BINDING for havdalah: treating a mesharet
as a phrase-end is a small gilui_arayot.
- Source authority: Yeivin's Tiberian Masorah §174-§268.
- Maintenance rule: if OSHB ever encodes a ta'am with a different
name, BOTH lists must be updated.
Finding H — shoresh derivation provenance:
extract_roots/1 returned a flat root → gematria map without recording
which derivational opinion produced each shoresh. For triliterals
this rarely matters; for weak roots and biliterals it matters
constantly (e.g. וְנָתַתִּי in Devarim 11:14 — OSHB records נת,
classical analysis often gives נתן with assimilated nun). Added
provenance note to the function docstring:
- The shoresh comes from OSHB lemma database via build_l1.py
- OSHB pins one root per word at build time; L1 JSON does not
record which derivational opinion produced it
- Downstream consumers MUST NOT treat the returned shoresh as
unique-truth
- The Talmudic Engine should record the derivational source
in coupling_trace when a shoresh-based ruling enters L3 —
otherwise a future re-derivation cannot be reconciled with
prior opinions stored on top of the OSHB choice
- Preserving derivational alternatives belongs in the build_l1.py
enrichment pass, not in this read function
Both docstrings make the WHY visible; the WHAT was already there.
No code change. Tests pass unchanged (288 in vav_pipeline,
8 in shema_voice_trajectory_test).
