Working paper.
Spanish-only micro-entry opening the Group B Romance deduct line from
WH_Movement_Denominations_Deduct §7.2 and
Negative_Questions_Deduct §13.2, sharing √DEDUCT geometry with
Lexical_Entry_Deduct_Argument_Structure and the live English / Japanese / French / Italian twins. Constructed diagnostics diagnose ACC MeasureP,
de/
desde Domain,
por-Reason, quantity clitic
en, Voice filter, and the FROM / TO dual with credit
FIN; they are not spontaneous-speech citations. French twin live at
deduct-fr.html; Italian twin now live at
deduct-it.html.
Constructed examples.
Frames below are packaging hypotheses aligned with Group B notes (“Spanish / French / Italian: quantity clitic en / ne under Neg tracks the MeasureP … Domain is de / à partir de, not a second object … Reason is pour / por / per”) and the WH map (“¿Qué le descontó / dedujo el exchange al usuario …? · ¿En qué / en qué moneda se lo descontó?”). Decrement-true of ⟨n,U⟩ from Domain is e2. Destruction, house-credit, and actual guilt are not entailed. Do not fake elicitation. Scout-leaning DAT Affectee packing is flagged where the WH paper shows le / a beside de/desde.
Beyond Index 2.
Index 2 does not list
deduct, and Spanish Payment cites
pagar, transferir, girar — not
descontar /
deducir. Like
chargeFEE · Spanish and
creditFIN · Spanish, this root sits
Beyond Index 2 as a Group B measuring companion. Keep Domain as
de/
desde oblique FROM; do not collapse to
cobrar’s DAT Payer / ACC MeasureP FEE cloth.
Scout / deferred.
Italian
detrarre is live at
deduct-it.html (watch FEE overlap on
addebitare — contrast only). Mandarin 扣 / 扣除 and Navajo classificatory-stem packaging share the Groups A–D sections but are not deepened this tick. Relative productivity of payroll
descontar vs tax/logic
deducir, and of DAT Affectee doubling beside
de-Domain, is scout-leaning where the extract lists forms without ranking them. No fake elicitation.
Hierarchy
Same inventory as English deduct. Not five-place. Not four sisters of one V. Surface count can name the game, 0.00368, ETH, every player in the dungeon, and the chat-rule violation — but Amount and Denomination share one Case object, Domain is one de/desde-PP, and Reason is high / outer.
Intended labeling (shared English metalanguage · Parse B)
√DEDUCT / DECREMENT + VoiceA(Agent-ish) + MeasureP ⟨Amount, Denom⟩ + ApplFROM(Domain) · hierarchy Agent-ish > MeasureP > Domain (> outer Reason)
Voice introduces Agent-ish (system / institutional Initiator; partial Proto-Agent). MeasureP ⟨n, U⟩ is Incremental Theme of the decrement — one ACC object. Low Appl_FROM introduces Domain as a set (or quantified DP); Spanish spells the default with de / desde. Optional high Reason is JUSTIFIED_BY (por), not Purpose (earmark), not Content (bet), not Consideration (chargeFEE). Packaging (descontar, tax/logic companion deducir) keeps one decrement geometry.
0.00368 ETH = one MeasureP. Orthography is not extra arity. Amount and Denomination are both inner arguments of that object. Composition is V(MeasureP), not V(n)(U). Hom(e, ⟨n,U⟩): the decrement is measured by degree n on scale U. Romance quantity clitic en resumes quantity of the QP — not a unit stranded from its degree, and not Domain.
Working hierarchy: Agent-ish > MeasureP ⟨n,U⟩ > Domain > Reason. What Group B Spanish changes is Case cloth (de/desde, por, en). What it does not change is the inventory. Weather still fails Agent-ish. Settlement / destruction is still not entailed. Domain never promotes to ACC the way chargeFEE / fine promote Payer.
Spanish frames · Case clothes
Spanish puts the QP in ACC, Domain in de / desde, Reason in por. There is no DOC cloth and no con-cloth dual of creditFIN. Primary lemma for the page: descontar (commercial / payroll decrement hinge). Companion deducir wears the same FROM geometry in tax / arithmetic / logic talk — document both; do not invent a sense split.

MeasureP WH / NegQ · denomination diagnostics
WH forces Amount ≠ Denomination inside one Case object. Verbal WH sees the MeasureP under ACC, not unit and degree as two objects of deduct. Same MeasureP pattern as English / Japanese deduct — here Domain stays a selected de/desde-PP (or DAT Affectee packing flagged open), and Reason stays por.

Bare ¿Qué descontó …? — four answer types (shared with English)
QP (default): 0,001 ETH. / 15 dólares. — whole MeasureP.
KIND: Una comisión de liquidación. / El margen aislado. — sortal N of the levy, not U of ⟨n,U⟩.
U (marked): Bitcoin. / USDC. / ETH. — unit-name with silent n; needs a currency menu. Not the first reading.
MASS: Dinero. / Efectivo. / Colateral. — value-mass hypernym; legal object; not a denomination. Wrong-sort mass stays out.
Superiority ranks Agent-ish > MeasureP > Domain > Reason. Amount and Denomination never compete as two verbal WH-items. Cheap NegQ association tracks the Case object: ACC MeasureP under descontar / deducir. Quantity clitic en resumes the QP (Romance Group B map); y tracks venue, not Domain of loss. Reason-por does not lift a second unit the way charge’s Consideration-por can.
Geometry · descontar ≠ cobrar ≠ acreditarFIN ≠ apostar ≠ destinar
In El juego descontó 0,00368 ETH de Pat, Pat is Domain of loss and stays inside a de-PP. In La tienda le cobró a Pat veinte dólares, Pat is Payer and wears DAT beside ACC MeasureP. Shared FROM_SET arithmetic; different Case cloth.
- ≠ chargeFEE / cobrar / fine. Shared FROM_SET + MeasureP Hom. Split: deduct keeps Domain as de/desde-PP; chargeFEE / fine promote Payer/Domain to DAT / ACC (le cobró a Pat veinte). *Cada jugador fue descontado 0,00368 ETH — use cobrar / multar.
- ≠ creditFIN / acreditar / abonar. Shared MeasureP. Opposite polarity: deduct = FROM_SET decrement (de/desde); creditFIN = TO_SET increment (a/en/con). creditFIN has a con-cloth; Spanish deduct has none (*descontar a cada jugador con 0,00368 ETH). Live twin: credit-fin-es.html.
- ≠ bet / apostar. Shared MeasureP (Stake vs decrement). Split: bet is 1+3 (Stake + Content + optional Platform); no FROM Domain of loss at e-time. Deduct has no selected Proposition.
- ≠ earmark / allocateGOAL / asignar / destinar. Shared MeasureP packaging available. Split: earmark’s para is Purpose; allocate’s a is Goal; deduct’s por is high Reason (JUSTIFIED_BY). No FROM-loss on earmark / allocate.
- ≠ payGIVE / pagar · ≠ vender / sell. Pay writes MeasureP TO a Recipient (Appl_HAVE). Sell: Recipient HAS goods; Price stays inside por. Deduct: money/value is the ACC MeasureP of the decrement; por violar … is Reason, not Price / Consideration.
- ≠ subtract / restar / sustraer. Same MeasureP family against a number/account Domain; Reason usually absent. Packaging cousins, not a fifth GF.
- Four pors. Deduct’s por violar … = Reason / ground (high). chargeFEE’s por la comida = Consideration. Sell’s por veinte dólares = Price. Earmark / allocate keep para for Purpose. Keep them apart.
- Decrement-true is e2. A follow-up that denies destruction, house-credit, or actual guilt does not deny the deduct event. Guilt-true is not entailed (Reason is JUSTIFIED_BY, not factive Content).
Shells, ApplP, and Case
Base tree (Spanish · Parse B · Larson-shell sketch)
VoiceP [ el juego
(ReasonP)
ApplP_FROM [ de [ cada jugador en la mazmorra ]
VP [ √DEDUCT / √DESCONT- [ MeasureP [ Amount 0,00368 ] [ N ETH ] ] ]
PP_por [ por [ violar las reglas del chat ] ] ]
Packaging (same geometry):
descontar (payroll / commercial hinge)
deducir (tax / arithmetic / logic companion)
— Domain stays de / desde; Reason stays por
Voice introduces Agent-ish. Appl_FROM introduces Domain as a set. MeasureP sits as Incremental Theme of the decrement. Reason attaches above the inner FROM. There is no Recipient HAVE shell and no ACC promotion of Domain. Putting one in is how the fine / cobrar cloth is written — a different root packaging, not √DEDUCT growing a second object.
Spanish assigns ACC to the MeasureP only (default). Domain stays oblique (de/desde). Reason stays a por-PP. Quantity clitic en resumes the MeasureP. No reverse DOC. Passive promotes the Measure QP as a whole — never Amount alone, never U alone, never Domain into subject (*Cada jugador fue descontado …), never Reason.
Proto-roles are shell-local. Agent-ish is a partial Proto-Agent (game, payroll, Hacienda, auto-mod, protocol — institutional cause, not required volition). Domain members are Proto-Source after cada / todo unfolds; the verbal argument is the bundled set. MeasureP is Incremental Theme; Hom on ⟨n,U⟩. Denomination is not a fifth theta role.

With cada / todo inside Domain: ∀x [jugador(x) ∧ en(x, mazmorra) → ∃e … FROM(e, x) …]. The dungeon appears only in the restrictor of D. No LOCATION(e, mazmorra) conjunct is required under Parse B. e2: each atomic member of Domain ¬HAS ⟨n,U⟩. Destruction / house-credit is a later sequel, not e2.

When hacer wraps deduct, clitic climbing can diagnose the Type A union; the inner FROM geometry stays (Negative_Questions_Deduct §13.2 / §14). Deduct does not grow a faire-par by itself.

Group B packaging · this tick Spanish only
Group B (Spanish, French, Italian) is the packaging contrast set already used for WH and NegQ on deduct (§7.2 / §13.2). Same hierarchy as English deduct; different host of MeasureP/Domain Case. This tick is Spanish deduct only. French déduire / prélever: quantity clitic en; Domain de / à partir de; Reason pour — pointed, not deepened. Italian detrarre / addebitare: watch FEE overlap on surface addebitare (already live as chargeFEE · Italian) — pointed, not deepened. English deduct.html and Japanese deduct-ja.html are the live FROM twins. Spanish creditFIN is the live TO dual — keep the polarity split.
Open items
- Italian micro-entry. Now live at deduct-it.html (detrarre). Watch Italian addebitare FEE overlap. French twin live: deduct-fr.html.
- English / Japanese twins. deduct.html and deduct-ja.html are live. Keep Domain as from/kara/de/desde; do not collapse to chargeFEE.
- DAT Affectee packing. WH §7.2 shows ¿Qué le descontó … al usuario …? beside de/desde Domain. Confirm whether le/a is high Affectee, optional doubling, or a register path toward FEE — open; do not merge with cobrar.
- descontar vs deducir productivity. Payroll / commercial vs tax / logic ranking needs controlled elicitation — flagged scout-leaning, not closed.
- Polish GEN-neg on odjąć / potrącić — GEN on the QP, not a stranded unit. Companion elicitation (Group C).
