Hierarchy

Same inventory as English bet and Spanish apostar. 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 / √PARI-. 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.

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 a été parié). It does not receive a second ACC next to 0,2. French en resumes the whole QP, never U minus n; y resumes Loc.

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.

French frames · Case clothes

No productive English-style DOC flip. *parier Brooke un bitcoin as the English bet Brooke $20 twin is out. Stake stays ACC MeasureP. Content is que-CP / sur-NP. Counterparty is DAT à / lui or contre. Platform is sur. Romance clitics resume QP (en), Loc (y), and person (lui) — never U stripped of n, never Platform as object. French does not need Spanish’s two-a demonstration: à (Appl_CP) and que (Content) already differ.

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 parier. Same MeasureP pattern as English bet and as sell’s Price / pay_GIVE’s Amount — here the MeasureP is ACC Stake. Clitic en resumes the QP; y resumes Loc; lui resumes a person — none is U minus n.

10. * Kalshi a-t-il été parié 0,2 BTC que Trump gagnerait ? Platform ≠ passivizable object
11. * En a parié Suzanne BTC sur Trump ? en ≠ U minus n as stranded remnant
12. * Lui a-t-elle parié contre Brooke ? lui ≠ unit; contre ≠ DAT double

Two constraints conspire on the LBC stars: Amount lives in Spec,MeasureP / DegP (French cannot extract the degree and leave the unit stranded next to the verb), and sortal mismatch under bare que/quel when the remnant is a numeral. Superiority ranks Agent > Stake > Proposition > Platform. Denomination does not get its own verbal slot unless recoded (quel jeton, en quelle monnaie).

Geometry · parier ≠ échanger ≠ payer / vendre MeasureP host

In Suzanne a parié 0,2 BTC que Trump gagnerait sur 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.

• ≠ échanger / swap. Theme₁ ↔ Theme₂ invert at lowest cost under Appl_SWAP. Stake ↔ Proposition does not. Platform never promotes. contre on parier is AGAINST of wager, not Theme₂ of échanger X contre Y. *échanger un bitcoin contre Brooke under parier is the wrong root and the wrong type — person-Brooke makes the SWAP coerce worse, not better. Homonymy of contre is the open French cell (cousin of German gegen).
• ≠ 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.
• ≠ pay_GIVE / payer / vendre. Shared currency nouns and MeasureP ⟨n,U⟩ do not merge the roots. Payer: Recipient HAS Amount (ACC money). Vendre: Recipient HAS goods; Price is pour-MeasureP. Parier: Stake is ACC MeasureP at risk; no Appl_HAVE Recipient of the money as default e2. DAT à on parier is Appl_CP cloth, not HAVE-Recipient of pay.
• ≠ blame / attribute à. Parier sur Kalshi names Platform (locative outer). Blâmer le climat du retard names Target. Extraction, passivization, and weather-ok status follow different filters.
• Commitment-true is e0–e2. A follow-up Non — elle n’a jamais rien mis en risque denies the commitment. Non — Trump n’a pas gagné denies CONTENT truth or settlement, not the bet event itself.

Shells, ApplP, and Case

VoiceP  [ Suzanne
  ApplP / VP₁  [ Stake MeasureP  [ Amount 0,2 ] [ N BTC ]
    VP₂  [ √PARI-
      Content  [ que Trump gagnerait ]
      LocP     [ sur Kalshi ] ] ]
  (Appl_CP  [ à Dick ]_DAT  ·  or  PP_contre [ contre 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 à doubled by lui; 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 a été parié and of Qu’a parié ? → 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. On a parié BTC is the usual French impersonal / generic packaging; être parié with agreement puts the QP in Spec,T — same cut as GroupB_se_vs_ser_Case / être promotee.

Group B packaging · this tick French 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. French adds the aux–participle split and the contre ↔ échanger Theme₂ homonymy cell. French tick (prior). Italian scommettere is live at bet-it.html. English and Spanish twins are live at bet.html and bet-es.html.

• contre vs échanger. Homonymy cell: OPP_STAKE of parier vs Theme₂ of échanger. Person-Brooke makes SWAP coerce worse. Listed as open; do not merge the two contre’s.
• Counterparty height. Low Appl_CP (à/lui) vs contre AGAINST vs high Affectee / faire parier FI DAT — listed; full NegQ battery remains companion work (Lamont Against Group B).
• Dual-denomination / LP as Stake. Pair-name units stay one ⟨n,U⟩ inside MeasureP (same moral as pay/sell/deduct). Not elicited as a separate frame here.
• sur-NP Content vs Loc. parier sur Trump can read Content-NP or lean Platform under different contexts — diagnose carefully; do not collapse Content and Loc under one sur.

Corpus filenames

Primary extracts for this micro-entry are Group B Romance why-should/would, thread sentences, Larson shells, and AGAINST/contre notes on bet. Geometry is shared with the English lexical entry. DOCX originals under the Tritransitive lit tree (lit/grok-tritransitive/files/). This tick uses French rows from those Group B files plus the shared English / Spanish baseline — not a full re-transcription of every Romance thread sentence.
