Working paper. Mandarin-only micro-entry from Tritransitive Group A packaging on deduct (WH_Movement_Denominations_Deduct §7.1; Negative_Questions_Deduct §13.1), sharing √DEDUCT geometry with Lexical_Entry_Deduct_Argument_Structure and the live English / Japanese / Romance twins. Constructed diagnostics diagnose 把 of the whole MeasureP, 从 Domain, 因/因为 Reason, Voice filter, and the FROM / TO dual with creditFIN; they are not spontaneous-speech citations. Navajo HANDLE companions in the same DOCX are pointed only — this tick does not deepen them.
Constructed examples. Frames below are packaging hypotheses aligned with Group A notes (“Chinese 把 fronts the whole QP under 没 / 没有. 从 marks Domain. 因为 / 为了 marks Reason. The dungeon restrictor stays inside the Domain DP”). Decrement-true of ⟨n,U⟩ from Domain is e2. Destruction, house-credit, and actual guilt are not entailed. Do not fake elicitation. Scout-leaning companions (减扣, relative productivity of bare 扣 vs 扣除) are flagged.
Beyond Index 2. Index 2 does not list deduct, and it does not list Mandarin under Payment. Like sell · Mandarin, chargeFEE · Mandarin, and creditFIN · Mandarin, this root sits Beyond Index 2 as a Group A measuring companion. Keep Domain as 从 oblique FROM; do not collapse to 收 / 收费’s 向-Payer FEE cloth.
Scout / deferred. Navajo classificatory-stem packaging shares the Groups A–D sections but is not a micro-entry this tick. Relative productivity of bare 扣 vs compound 扣除 / 扣减, and of payroll 扣工资 vs tax 扣除, 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 从-DP, 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, often 把-fronted as a whole QP. Low Appl_FROM introduces Domain as a set (or quantified DP); Mandarin spells the default with 从 / 从…中 / 在…上. Optional high Reason is JUSTIFIED_BY (因 / 因为), not Purpose (earmark), not Content (bet), not Consideration (chargeFEE). Packaging (扣, 扣除) keeps one decrement geometry.

0.00368 ETH = one MeasureP. Orthography / measure-word morphology is not extra arity. Amount and Denomination are both inner arguments of that object. Composition is V(QP), not V(n)(U). Hom(e, ⟨n,U⟩): the decrement is measured by degree n on scale U. 把 takes the whole QP; it does not split Amount from unit.

Working hierarchy: Agent-ish > MeasureP ⟨n,U⟩把 / post-V > Domain从 > Reason因 / 因为. What Group A Mandarin changes is Case cloth (把, 从, 因). What it does not change is the inventory. Weather still fails Agent-ish. Settlement / destruction is still not entailed. Domain never promotes to a second bare Theme the way English DOC would, and never to FEE’s 向-Payer.

Mandarin frames · Case clothes

Mandarin puts the QP in ACC (often 把-fronted as a whole), Domain in 从 / 从…中 / 在…上, Reason in 因 / 因为. There is no English-style DOC of MeasureP+Domain as two bare Themes. Primary lemmas for the page: 扣 / 扣除. Companions wear the same FROM geometry — document them; do not invent a sense split.

MeasureP WH / NegQ · denomination diagnostics

Bare 扣了什么? — four answer types (shared with English)

QP (default): 0.001 ETH. / 十五美元. — whole MeasureP.

KIND: 一笔强平费. / 手续费. — 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: 钱. / 流动性. / 抵押品. — 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: MeasureP under 没 / 没有 over the 把-frame. Reason-因为 does not lift a second unit the way charge’s Consideration-为 can.

Geometry · 扣 ≠ 收 ≠ 入账 ≠ 赌 ≠ 付 ≠ 卖

In 游戏从帕特那里扣了 0.00368 ETH, Pat is Domain of loss and stays inside a 从-DP. In 商店向帕特收了二十块, Pat is Payer and wears 向 beside MeasureP. Shared FROM_SET arithmetic; different Case cloth.

Shells, ApplP, and Case

Base tree (Mandarin · Parse B · Larson-shell sketch)

VoiceP  [ 游戏
  (ReasonP)  [ 因为  [ 违反了聊天规则 ] ]
  ApplP_FROM  [ 从  [ 地牢里的每个玩家 ]
    VP  [ √DEDUCT / √扣   [ 把 [ MeasureP  [ Amount 0.00368 ] [ N ETH ] ] ] ]
]

Packaging (same geometry):
  扣 / 扣除 (primary)
  扣减 / 减扣 (companions scout)
  扣工资 (payroll Domain packaging)
  — Domain stays 从 / 从…中 / 在…上; Reason stays 因 / 因为
  — 收 / 收费 = FEE contrast (向-Payer), not √DEDUCT primary

Voice introduces Agent-ish. Appl_FROM introduces Domain as a set. MeasureP sits as Incremental Theme of the decrement — often 把-fronted as a whole. Reason attaches above the inner FROM. There is no Recipient HAVE shell and no ACC promotion of Domain into a second Theme. Putting one in is how the fine / 收 cloth is written — a different root packaging, not √DEDUCT growing a second object.

Mandarin assigns ACC / 把 to the MeasureP only (default). Domain stays oblique (从). Reason stays a 因/因为-clause / PP. No reverse DOC. Passive-ish promotes the Measure QP as a whole — never Amount alone, never U alone, never Domain into subject (*每个玩家被扣了… as Domain ACC), never Reason.

Proto-roles are shell-local. Agent-ish is a partial Proto-Agent (game, payroll, fisc, auto-mod, protocol — institutional cause, not required volition). Domain members are Proto-Source after 每个 unfolds; the verbal argument is the bundled set. MeasureP is Incremental Theme; Hom on ⟨n,U⟩. Denomination is not a fifth theta role.

✓ 上司没让游戏从每个玩家那里扣 0.00368 ETH 吗? outer Neg denies causing · causee ≠ Domain

* 上司没让天气从每个玩家那里扣 0.00368 ETH 吗? weather still not inner Agent-ish

Chinese 让 + RVC can wrap the inner result; the inner MeasureP remains one object and the inner Domain remains FROM (Negative_Questions_Deduct §13.1 / §14). Deduct does not grow a causative by itself.

Group A packaging · this tick Mandarin closes EN+JA+Romance+ZH deduct

Group A (English, Japanese, Chinese, Navajo) is the packaging contrast set already used for WH and NegQ on deduct (§7.1 / §13.1). Same hierarchy as English deduct; different host of MeasureP/Domain Case. This tick is Mandarin deduct only — and it finishes the EN+JA+Romance+ZH deduct line (EN+JA+ES+FR+IT+ZH). English deduct.html, Japanese deduct-ja.html, Spanish deduct-es.html, French deduct-fr.html, and Italian deduct-it.html are the live FROM twins. Mandarin creditFIN is the live TO dual — keep the polarity split. Navajo HANDLE packaging remains deferred — do not invent depth this tick.
