Italian micro-entry closing the Group B Romance FIN trio (ES → FR →

Constructed examples.

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 per-Reason / purpose PP is outer justification of the increment, not Charge of MERIT and not Purpose of earmark’s RESTRICT. Italian Case clothes flip which participant sits in ACC; they do not change the inventory. Light-noun / banker packaging (accreditare, accreditare un conto, accreditare di) keeps one ledger geometry.
0,3 ETH = one MeasureP. Orthography is not extra arity (Italian 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/su-frame Case ranking is Allocator > MeasureP > Account; di-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.
Italian frames · Case clothes
Three clothes on INCREMENT. a/su-frame: MeasureP ACC + a / su-Account. di-frame: Account ACC + di-MeasureP (productive banker Italian analogue of EN with-frame / ES con-frame / FR de-frame). Companion packaging: accreditare un conto di …; accreditare … sul conto scout if natural. No productive bare DOC. DAT clitic gli/le resumes Account where natural; ne resumes measured quantity (Abney / MeasureP). Do not conflate with MERIT’s a/di/per clothes (Charge vs Target) — keep the split at credit-merit-it.html.

MeasureP WH / NegQ · LBC and a/su/di
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 / Spanish·French creditFIN record. The di-frame does not split the QP either: di takes the whole MeasureP. Italian ne resumes FIN quantity / Account packaging — chat 23: Romance en/ne resumes FIN quantity, not MERIT Charge.

a/su-Account ≠ MERIT Target · di-MeasureP ≠ MERIT Charge · ne ≠ MERIT host
a / su Account = book / wallet / Recipient-as-account-holder — not MERIT ascribee, not bet Platform, not sell Recipient HAVE. di MeasureP = quantized ledger increment — not Charge content, not sell Price alone, not blame Target. ne Account / quantity packaging is FIN-side (chat 23: Romance en/ne resumes FIN quantity). Shared Italian letters on a/di across MERIT and FIN; different licensers (Appl_TO / √CREDIT_LEDGER vs √ASCRIBE) and different surface verbs (accreditare vs attribuire).
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/su-frames; Account under the di-frame.
Geometry · creditFIN ≠ creditMERIT ≠ deduct ≠ chargeFEE ≠ pagare
In Il consiglio ha accreditato 0,3 ETH a ogni conto, the board 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.
- ≠ creditMERIT / attribuire il merito. Cleaner Romance morphology split than Spanish. MERIT ascribes Charge TO a Target (hanno attribuito il completamento anticipato all'appaltatore / hanno riconosciuto il merito all'appaltatore). FIN has MeasureP and Account; MERIT has neither (unless Charge is quantified as a share — hybrid §5.4, still ASCRIBE). Collapsing them because both can sit next to Italian “credit” talk is the error the lexical entry was written to block. MERIT twin: credit-merit-it.html.
- ≠ deduct. Shared MeasureP. Opposite polarity: deduct = FROM_SET decrement; creditFIN = TO_SET increment. Italian da on Account (as Source) yields deduct, not TO (*ha accreditato 0,3 ETH da ogni conto as FROM). Live twin: deduct.html.
- ≠ chargeFEE / addebitare. FEE is FROM (Appl_FROM Payer DAT + MeasureP ACC). FIN is TO (Appl_TO Account + MeasureP). Shared MeasureP object; opposite Source/Goal polarity. Same surface family often contrasts addebitare (debit / FROM) vs accreditare (credit / TO). Live twin: charge-fee-it.html.
- ≠ pagare / payGIVE. Pay writes MeasureP with Recipient HAVE. FIN’s HAVE_ON_BOOKS is weaker; payout is a later verb (addebitare / prelevare / pagare / bonificare / trasferire). No productive DOC on FIN as listed cloth.
- ≠ attributeXFER. Shared CREDIT_LEDGER family and a-Account cloth; attributeXFER lacks the productive di-frame creditFIN advertises.
- ≠ vendere / sell · ≠ SWAP. Sell: Recipient HAS goods; Price stays inside per. Neither FIN cloth is SWAP. Earmark’s Purpose ≠ FIN’s outer Reason.
- Missing defaults. Payout and spendability are not entailed. A later debit can reverse the book without making the original credit event false. HAS_ON_BOOKS ≠ physical HAVE ≠ RESTRICTED_FOR.
- Hybrid trap (§5.4). hanno attribuito all'appaltatore il 30 % del risparmio can look MeasureP-shaped and still be MERIT (quantified Charge). Diagnostics: replaceable by ascribe/praise (attribuire / riconoscere); not by wire/deposit (accreditare / versare); weather can sit as MERIT Target but not as FIN Account (*hanno accreditato il maltempo di 0,3 ETH as FIN).

— MeasureP ACC; Account wears wrapper-K su; productive accreditare … su
Italian assigns one structural ACC per frame. a/su-frames: ACC = MeasureP; Account wears wrapper-K a or su. di-frame: ACC = Account; MeasureP wears wrapper-K di. Composition is V(DP), not V(a(DP)) and not V(di(DP)) — same wrapper-K point as the attribute entry (§6.4) and Italian 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 gli/le can resume Account; lo/li/la can resume MeasureP; ne resumes measured quantity (Abney spine / MeasureP — parallel French en).
Neo-Davidsonian sketch (entry §7.2)
∃e [ INCREMENT(e)
∧ INIT(e, consiglio)
∧ 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 di-frame does not change the semantics; it changes which participant is the ACC object. e2 = HAS_ON_BOOKS; e3 payout is not asserted.

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/su-frames; Account in the di-frame). Reason stays outer. Payout / spendability is systematically missing as a default Neg target — same moral as bet’s missing settlement.
