Working paper. Spanish micro-entry opening the Group B Romance FIN trio (ES → FR → IT). Geometry from Lexical_Entry_Credit_Argument_Structure (FIN half) and NegQ association maps from Negative_Questions_Credit, sharing √CREDIT_LEDGER with the live English and Japanese twins and the FROM dual deduct. Constructed diagnostics diagnose a/con/en Case clothes, MeasureP integrity, Allocator filter, and the FIN / MERIT root split on overlapping acreditar; they are not spontaneous-speech citations. French twin live at credit-fin-fr.html; Italian FIN twin is the next queue tick — this page does not invent it.
Constructed examples. Frames below are packaging hypotheses aligned with the lexical entry’s §3.2 / §5 / §7.2, Romance morphology notes (créditer / acreditar-ledger vs attribuer / atribuir-ascribe), and the Spanish MERIT twin. HAS_ON_BOOKS after the event is e2. Payout / spendability is not entailed — same missing settlement default as English creditFIN and Japanese 入金する. Do not fake elicitation. Scout-leaning companions are flagged.
Class table · FIN/MERIT split. Index 2 does not list a financial credit verb. Spanish Payment cites pagar, transferir, girar. Surface acreditar also hosts the merit reading already live at creditMERIT · Spanish. Like deduct and chargeFEE · Spanish, this root sits Beyond Index 2 as a measuring companion. Keep the FIN/MERIT split: FIN has MeasureP and Account; MERIT has neither.
Scout / deferred. French twin live at credit-fin-fr.html (créditer); Italian FIN twin live at credit-fin-it.html (accreditare; cleaner morphology split than Spanish). Companion ingresar (banker’s ingress) and cargar al haber share ledger geometry but relative productivity vs primary acreditar / abonar is scout-leaning. Mandarin / Navajo Group A companions remain deferred. No fake elicitation.

Hierarchy

Same inventory as English creditFIN. Not five-place. Not four sisters of one V. Surface count can name the bank, 0,3, ETH, each account, and a Q3 threshold — but Amount and Denomination share one Case object, Account is one Recipient / Domain-of-increment, and Reason is high / outer.

Intended labeling (shared English metalanguage)

√CREDIT_LEDGER / INCREMENT + VoiceA(Allocator) + MeasureP ⟨Amount, Denom⟩ + ApplTO(Recipient / Account)  ·  hierarchy Allocator > MeasureP > Rec/Account (> outer Reason)

Voice introduces Allocator (authority over a ledger — bank, board, smart contract, clearing house). MeasureP ⟨n, U⟩ is Incremental Theme of the increment — one Case object (Amount in Spec, Denomination as N). Low Appl_TO / book-Recipient introduces Account. Optional high por-Reason / purpose PP is outer justification of the increment, not Charge of MERIT and not Purpose of earmark’s RESTRICT. Spanish Case clothes flip which participant sits in ACC; they do not change the inventory. Light-noun / banker packaging (acreditar, abonar, acreditar en cuenta) keeps one ledger geometry.

0,3 ETH = one MeasureP. Orthography is not extra arity (Spanish decimal comma). Amount and Denomination are both inner arguments of that object. Composition is V(MeasureP), not V(n)(U). Hom(e, ⟨n,U⟩): the increment is measured by degree n on scale U.

Working hierarchy: Allocator > MeasureP ⟨Amount, Denomination⟩ > Recipient / Account > Reason. a-frame Case ranking is Allocator > MeasureP > Account; con-frame flips ACC to Account (Allocator > Account > MeasureP). Weather still fails Allocator. Payout is still not entailed. Account and MeasureP flip rank only by Case cloth — same TO dual of deduct’s FROM Domain.

Spanish frames · Case clothes

Three clothes on INCREMENT. a-frame: MeasureP ACC + a-Account. con-frame: Account ACC + con-MeasureP. en-Account packaging: MeasureP ACC + en-Account (productive banker English analogue of acreditar en cuenta). Companion abonar wears the same geometry. No productive bare DOC. Do not conflate with MERIT’s a/de/con clothes (Charge vs Target) — keep the split at credit-merit-es.html.

MeasureP WH / NegQ · LBC and a/con/en

Unlike creditMERIT, creditFIN has a verbal MeasureP. Amount and Denomination compose one Case object. Whole-QP pied-piping is free under Neg. Amount-only is free when the unit is bound. Left-branch extraction of Amount leaving the unit next to V is still out — same LBC deduct / sell / chargeFEE / English creditFIN record. The con-frame does not split the QP either: con takes the whole MeasureP. Romance en resumes FIN quantity / Account packaging — chat 23: en resumes FIN quantity, not MERIT Charge.

  1. ✓ ¿Cuánto ETH acreditó el banco a cada cuenta? whole MeasureP · a-frame
  2. ✓ ¿Cuánto acreditó el banco a cada cuenta? degree WH · U bound
  3. ✓ ¿Cuánto de qué acreditó el banco a quién? n and U inside host · de rescue

  13. ✓ MERIT pointer: ¿Qué acreditaron al contratista? WH = Charge · not MeasureP
  14. * ¿Cuánto acreditaron al contratista? unless Charge recoded as share

a-Account ≠ MERIT Target · con-MeasureP ≠ MERIT Charge · en ≠ MERIT host

a Account = book / wallet / Recipient-as-account-holder — not MERIT ascribee, not bet Platform, not sell Recipient HAVE. con MeasureP = quantized ledger increment — not Charge content, not sell Price alone, not blame Target. en Account / quantity packaging is FIN-side (chat 23: Romance en resumes FIN quantity). Shared Spanish letters on acreditar; different licensers (Appl_TO / √CREDIT_LEDGER vs √ASCRIBE).

Superiority ranks Allocator > ACC object > oblique K-DP > outer Reason. Amount and Denomination never compete as two verbal WH-items. Cheap NegQ association tracks the Case object: MeasureP under the a/en-frames; Account under the con-frame.

Geometry · creditFIN ≠ creditMERIT ≠ deduct ≠ chargeFEE ≠ pagar

In El banco acreditó 0,3 ETH a cada cuenta, the bank writes 0,3 ETH onto each account’s book. That is ledger INCREMENT, not ascription and not HAVE of goods. The account is Account. 0,3 ETH is MeasureP. HAS_ON_BOOKS holds after the event; spendability / payout is not entailed.

Shells, ApplP, and Case

VoiceP  [ Allocator = el banco
  ApplP_TO  [ ACC Account = cada cuenta
    VP  [ √CREDIT_LEDGER   [ con [ MeasureP ⟨0,3, ETH⟩ ] ] ] ]

  ApplP_TO / book-Rec  [ en [ cada cuenta ]
    VP  [ √CREDIT_LEDGER   [ MeasureP ⟨0,3, ETH⟩ ] ] ]

— MeasureP ACC; Account wears wrapper-K en; productive acreditar en cuenta

Spanish assigns one structural ACC per frame. a/en-frames: ACC = MeasureP; Account wears wrapper-K a or en. con-frame: ACC = Account; MeasureP wears wrapper-K con. Composition is V(DP), not V(a(DP)) and not V(con(DP)) — same wrapper-K point as the attribute entry (§6.4) and Spanish MERIT. No low ApplHAVE of goods. No low ApplSWAP. No √ASCRIBE. High Appl / Affectee / outer Reason is extra when present. Each account is a DP-internal container on the Recipient — Abney restrictor, not a fourth verbal Location. Clitic le can resume Account; lo/los can resume MeasureP.

Neo-Davidsonian sketch (entry §7.2)

∃e [ INCREMENT(e)
  ∧ INIT(e, banco)
  ∧ DEGREE(e, 0.3) ∧ UNIT(e, ETH)
  ∧ TO_SET(e, R) ∧ Hom(e, ⟨0.3, ETH⟩)
  ∧ JUSTIFIED_BY(e, Q3) ]   // Reason optional
result: ∀y ∈ R. HAS_ON_BOOKS(y, ⟨0.3, ETH⟩) after e

Replace TO_SET with FROM_SET and INCREMENT with DECREMENT and the deduct entry drops out. The con-frame does not change the semantics; it changes which participant is the ACC object. e2 = HAS_ON_BOOKS; e3 payout is not asserted.

Voice filter · Allocator (same cell as deduct’s Agent-ish)

✓ ¿Quién acreditó 0,3 ETH a cada cuenta?

✓ El contrato inteligente / la cámara de compensación / el banco acreditó … institutional Initiator

?? ¿Qué acreditó 0,3 ETH a cada cuenta? improves if qué = the contract / the script

✓ Lo que hizo el contrato inteligente fue acreditar cada cuenta con 0,3 ETH.

Milder than MERIT’s Judge filter (systems pass on FIN; weather still fails on both). Inanimate Targets welcome on MERIT; inanimate Accounts fail on FIN unless construed as books.

NegQ pointer · association sites

Negative questions on creditFIN keep the FIN map; they do not invent a fifth theta name and do not create a Charge. Neg sits high and associates downward. Cheap inner associate = the Case object (MeasureP in the a/en-frames; Account in the con-frame). Reason stays outer. Payout / spendability is systematically missing as a default Neg target — same moral as bet’s missing settlement.

Spanish NegQ / WH–Neg core (constructed · FIN map)

✓ ¿No acreditó el banco 0,3 ETH a cada cuenta?

✓ ¿No se acreditaron 0,3 ETH a cada cuenta?

✓ ¿No fue acreditada cada cuenta con 0,3 ETH?

✓ ¿Cuánto ETH no acreditó el banco a cada cuenta?

✓ ¿Cuánto no acreditó el banco a cada cuenta? U bound

* ¿Cuánto no acreditó el banco ETH a cada cuenta? LBC under Neg

✓ ¿Con cuánto ETH no acreditaron cada cuenta?

✓ ¿A quién / a qué cuentas no acreditaron 0,3 ETH?

✓ ¿Por qué no acreditaron 0,3 ETH a cada cuenta? Reason

✓ MERIT contrast (pointer): ¿No acreditaron la finalización temprana al contratista?

* ¿No acreditó el mal tiempo 0,3 ETH a cada cuenta?

Missing defaults: no payout-true; no spendability as e3. A bare No most readily challenges the increment event or the ACC MeasureP (a-frame). Challenging the Account wants that book already under discussion.

Chat packaging: Tritransitive chats 23 (NegQ on credit · two-root · Romance en), 25 (credit attitude vs transfer), and 35 (credit argument-structure acceptability).

Series placement: Spanish sense×language twin of English creditFIN and Japanese creditFIN. Continues Romance FIN trio (ES → FR → IT); French live. Feeds Payment / measuring companions Beyond Index 2 and the ledger-increment cell next to deduct / chargeFEE / attributeXFER. Sister of live creditMERIT · Spanish — keep the FIN/MERIT split.
