Spanish-only micro-entry from Tritransitive Group B Romance on bet (
Bet_Darshawn_Why_Should_Would_GroupB_Romance,

Bet_GroupB_Larson_Shells), sharing 1+3 geometry with

scommettere companions in the same DOCX are pointed only.
Constructed examples.
Frames below are packaging hypotheses aligned with Volume 5 and the Romance bet supplements. Commitment-true is e0–e2. Settlement (win/lose) is not a default of √BET / √APOST-. Do not fake elicitation.
Arity cut.
Index 2 lists Spanish apostar under Risk / Betting with hierarchy Agent > Stake > Proposition > Platform. The entry refuses a four-place lexical atom and a fifth Denomination sister. Surface four participants are 1+3: Voice Initiator plus three non-interchangeable inner relations. Counterparty is low Appl (a / le) or contra AGAINST — not a fifth primitive. No Romance DOC.
Scout / deferred.

scommettere shares the Group B DOCX but is not a micro-entry this tick. Group A (ZH/JA/NV), Inner-European Focus/clusters, and Germanic correlative Content packaging remain labeled elsewhere. No fake elicitation.
Hierarchy
Same inventory as English bet. Not tetravalent. Naming Suzanne, 0,2 BTC, Trump-beats-Hillary, and Kalshi is the wrong kind of honesty if written as four co-arguments of √BET / √APOST-. A grid of four sisters predicts four structural Cases and free inversion. Bet is 1+3: one Initiator plus Stake, Content, and optional Platform — not interchangeable.
Intended labeling (shared with English · Spanish cloth)
√APOST- + Stake MeasureP ⟨Amount, Denomination⟩ACC + CONTENT(a que / a-NP) + (LOCATION en Platform) + (Appl_CP a/le Counterparty ∨ contra AGAINST)
Voice introduces Initiator. Stake is one MeasureP ⟨n, U⟩ as the unique ACC object — Amount and Denomination are both listed inner arguments of that object. Content is the contingent winning condition (a que-CP with subjunctive / conditional, or a-NP packaging). Platform is peripheral Loc (en). Counterparty is DAT a doubled by le (Appl_CP) or opposing-stake contra — not a fifth root argument and not a second ACC.
0,2 BTC = one MeasureP. n and U compose Abney-side. Composition of the verb is V(MeasureP), not V(n)(U). U receives Case only as the audible head of that Stake object (BTC fue apostado). It does not receive a second ACC next to 0,2. Spanish en resumes the whole QP, never U minus n.
Hierarchy speakers use (Index 2 / Volume 2): Agent > Stake⟨n,U⟩ > Proposition > Platform. What Group B changes is Case, clitics, and the refusal of English DOC. What it does not change is the inventory. Settlement is still not entailed. Platform still does not promote.
Spanish frames · Case clothes
No productive English-style DOC flip. *apostar Kim 20 dólares as the English bet Kim $20 twin is out. Stake stays ACC MeasureP. Content is a que / a-NP. Counterparty is DAT a / le or contra. Platform is en. Romance clitics resume QP (en), Loc (y), and person (le) — never U stripped of n, never Platform as object.

- * Prizepicks fue apostado 0,2 BTC a que Trump ganaría. Platform ≠ Spec,T
Events · settlement not entailed
✓ Suzanne apostó 0,2 BTC a que Trump ganaría — true on election night (e0–e2 commitment).
WIN(e,w) iff CONTENT(e) is true in w and e is settled in w. Apostar(e) does not entail WIN or LOSE. Quantized ⟨n,U⟩ bounds e; a long proposition does not.
Two a’s · two heads (Spanish intra-B fact)
a Dick = Appl_CP Counterparty wrapper. a que Trump… = Content. Inner a Biden under ganar is opponent of beat, not Appl_CP of apostar. Same phonology, three assigners when all three appear — swallow refused (cousin of Japanese two-ni).
✓ ¿Le apostó Tom a Dick 0,0041 BTC a que Trump le ganaría a Hunter en Prizepicks?
contra Brooke is AGAINST (opposing stake), competing with a/con CP cloth — not stacked with a fee-Recipient and not Theme₂ of cambiar.
SHOULD vs WOULD height (Group B)
debería + INF apostar = deontic modal verb + infinitive (two verbal heads, one event). apostaría = synthetic conditional on the lexical verb (one head). The conditional hunts si harder — do not flatten fee-offer si apuestas en USDC onto e1 of apostar.
MeasureP WH · passive / clitic diagnostics
WH and passive force Amount ≠ Denomination inside one ACC Stake object. Verbal WH sees the MeasureP, not unit and degree as two objects of apostar. Same MeasureP pattern as English bet and as sell’s Price / payGIVE’s Amount — here the MeasureP is ACC Stake. Clitic en resumes the QP; y resumes Loc; le resumes a person — none is U minus n.
- ✓ ¿Qué apostó Suzanne a que Trump ganaría en Kalshi? 0,2 BTC / BTC / 0,2 bitcoin
- ✓ ¿Cuánto BTC apostó Suzanne a Trump en Kalshi?
- ✓ ¿0,2 BTC fue apostado a que Trump ganaría en Kalshi?
- ✓ ¿BTC fue apostado a que Trump ganaría en Kalshi? bare U in Spec,T
- ✓ ¿No se apostó un bitcoin entero en Prizepicks contra Brooke? se · impersonal / promotee ambiguity
- ✓ ¿Por qué un bitcoin entero debería ser apostado en Prizepicks contra Brooke? ser + agreement · QP promotee
- * ¿Cuánto apostó Suzanne BTC a Trump en Kalshi? LBC · Amount ≠ stranded unit
- * ¿Qué 0,2 apostó Suzanne a Trump en Kalshi? numeral remnant
- * ¿0,2 fue apostado BTC a Trump en Kalshi? Amount ≠ nominative without unit as separate sister
- * ¿Kalshi fue apostado 0,2 BTC a que Trump ganaría? Platform ≠ passivizable object
- * ¿En apostó Suzanne BTC a Trump? en ≠ U minus n
- * ¿Le apostó Suzanne contra Brooke? le ≠ unit; contra ≠ DAT double
Two constraints conspire on the LBC stars: Amount lives in Spec,MeasureP / DegP (Spanish cannot extract the degree and leave the unit stranded next to the verb), and sortal mismatch under bare qué when the remnant is a numeral. Superiority ranks Agent > Stake > Proposition > Platform. Denomination does not get its own verbal slot unless recoded (qué token, en qué moneda).
Clitic resume map (Group B)
en → Stake QP (one object). y → Loc Platform. le / les → Appl_CP person (a Dick), not contra, not U. Same pairing moral as Clitic_Doubling_and_MeasureP_Pairings — do not restamp.
Geometry · apostar ≠ cambiar ≠ pagar / vender MeasureP host
In Suzanne apostó 0,2 BTC a que Trump ganaría en Kalshi, the inner measuring argument is Stake at risk under a contingent Content. That is commitment-to-risk, not completed exchange and not purpose-restriction.
- ≠ cambiar / swap. Theme₁ ↔ Theme₂ invert at lowest cost under Appl_SWAP. Stake ↔ Proposition does not. Platform never promotes. contra on apostar is AGAINST of wager, not Theme₂ of cambiar X por / contra Y. *cambiar Brooke por un bitcoin under apostar is the wrong root and the wrong type.
- ≠ earmark. Earmark 14M BTC for new technology restricts Resource for Purpose. Purpose is not Content (no WIN condition). Settlement of a wager is not entailed on either root.
- ≠ payGIVE / pagar / vender. Shared currency nouns and MeasureP ⟨n,U⟩ do not merge the roots. Pagar: Recipient HAS Amount (ACC money). Vender: Recipient HAS goods; Price is por-MeasureP. Apostar: Stake is ACC MeasureP at risk; no Appl_HAVE Recipient of the money as default e2. DAT a on apostar is Appl_CP / Content cloth, not HAVE-Recipient of pay.
- ≠ blame / attribute a. Apostar en Kalshi names Platform (locative outer). Culpar al clima del retraso names Target. Extraction, passivization, and weather-ok status follow different filters.
- Commitment-true is e0–e2. A follow-up No — nunca puso nada en riesgo denies the commitment. No — Trump no ganó denies CONTENT truth or settlement, not the bet event itself.
Shells, ApplP, and Case
Base tree (Spanish canonical · Larson-shell sketch · Group B)
VoiceP [ Suzanne
ApplP / VP₁ [ Stake MeasureP [ Amount 0,2 ] [ N BTC ]
VP₂ [ √APOST-
Content [ a que Trump ganaría ]
LocP [ en Kalshi ] ] ]
(Appl_CP [ a Dick ]_DAT · or PP_contra [ contra Brooke ])
Only Agent and Stake receive structural Case from the verbal domain in the no-partner frame. Proposition and Platform are PP/CP. Legal Counterparty packaging adds Appl_CP as DAT a doubled by le; U never gets a second ACC. English DOC bare first object is the illegal Romance step. Hom(m, e) is a homomorphism from the quantity of the pair ⟨n,U⟩, not from U alone and not from n alone. Silent n: MEASURE(e, ⟨∃n, BTC⟩) — the semantics of BTC fue apostado and of ¿Qué apostó? → BTC.
Theta roles — still no new names. Agent, Measure, Content, Location already exist. Denomination is not a fifth theta role; it is the unit argument of Measure. Proto-Patient on the quantity scale is computed of the MeasureP; U inherits Patient-hood from the object it heads when n is silent.
Voice filter: weather fails Initiator of a wager; institutional bookmakers and platforms as outer Agent of a different packaging are open/scout, not elicited here. Se apostó BTC is the usual se-ambiguity (impersonal vs promotee); ser apostado with agreement puts the QP in Spec,T — same cut as GroupB_se_vs_ser_Case.

Group B packaging · this tick Spanish only
Group B (Spanish, French, Italian) is the Romance Case-cloth contrast set for bet: same 1+3 WAGER geometry as English; different host of Counterparty (DAT a / à or comitative con, not DOC ACC) and Content letter (a que / que / che). AGAINST splits as contra / contre / contro vs CP cloth. Clitics: en/ne resume QP; y/ci resume Loc; le/lui/gli resume a person. Spanish tick (prior). French parier is now live at bet-fr.html. Italian scommettere shares the DOCX and remains a later queue tick. English twin is live at bet.html.
