√PAY_GIVE + ApplHAVE(Recipient, MeasurePAmount ⟨n, U⟩) + за+DP-Consideration

Not a flat four-place root, and not four sisters of √PAY. One outer argument: Payer is Spec of Voice. Three inner arguments of the same event: Recipient in low ApplHAVE; Amount as the MeasureP complement of the root ⟨n, U⟩; Consideration as AGAINST on that same event, inside VoiceP. Consideration is not a fourth structural Case. When it is present, it is not demoted, and the MeasureP is not demoted, to a pure adjunct. Recipient, Amount, and Consideration stay inside the verb’s domain. They are not collapsed under one English gloss. Voice introduces Payer. Low ApplHAVE introduces Recipient and relates Recipient to the MeasureP. √PAY- / плащам takes MeasureP ⟨n, U⟩ — Amount plus Denomination — as Incremental Theme of eHAVE. That theme is the money. The direct-object family already used on the live Bulgarian measuring pages (тази сума / три токена / decimal 0,3 ETH) is the MeasureP letter adopted here. Nominal case is gone, so that “accusative” is the object slot, not a noun ending. Bulgarian has no nominal genitive. Under sentential не the same MeasureP keeps its shape. There is no GEN-neg rewrite, and no genitive spelling to invent. The contrast with Polish płacić is that cloth: Polish rewrites the MeasureP QP (tej kwoty, trzech tokenów); Bulgarian does not. Recipient’s preferred cloth is на + DP. That is the Appl letter in the opposite direction from the FEE probe’s на for Payer (на Chase on charge-fee-bg is money FROM). Money here is TO. Full noun phrases do not inflect for dative; на is the nominal spell-out, the same fact приписвам нещо на някого states for Target. No плащам clause is printed on this site, so that Recipient letter is constructed packaging and stays open as elicitation. It is not Polish morphological dative (Chrisowi). Consideration is за + DP on the leftover goods, ranked from the printed FEE string за един биткойн. It is a packaging hypothesis, not a second object and not a price QP. Index 2’s outer slot is labeled Purpose. If a Purpose phrase stacks beside that за DP, the split stays open and is not checked. Clitic doubling of the MeasureP or of the Recipient is not checked on this verb. Sister pages establish doubling elsewhere: accusative го doubles one direct-object Target on blame-bg, and dative му doubles one на-Target on the ATT page. FEE says MeasureP doubling is not on the denomination plate, and it does not check a dative clitic. Those sister patterns are not elicitation of плащам. There is no Hungarian Focus host and no particle to separate. плащам and платя are imperfective and perfective of this one root family, not two senses. The aorist of the perfective is плати. Optional Platform / Source are extras — not Theme₃. Japanese -sase- is an outer Type A wrap on another language. It is not a fourth argument of плащам, and this page does not invent a CAUSE domain.

Examples

No English DOC of Recipient and MeasureP as two bare objects. Amount stays the MeasureP: the direct object in the affirmative and under не. Recipient, where it is spelled, wears на + DP. That spelling is a packaging hypothesis. The site prints плащам, превеждам in the Index 2 Payment cell and names плащам as the later payment root beside таксувам, записа, and отчислявам. It does not print a плащам clause. Every плащам / платя / плати string below is constructed and tagged. The Pat/Chris frames mirror English Pat paid Chris twenty dollars in the direct-object MeasureP plus на-Recipient cloth the live attitude page already uses for Target, and in the order the FEE probe prints (MeasureP, then на, then за). They are not elicitation. Word order is not checked. A на-phrase before the MeasureP is not starred.

плащам is the imperfective citation. Present 3sg is плаща. платя is the perfective of the same root family. The aorist 3sg of that perfective is плати; 3pl is платиха. The aorist does not agree in gender. That is the fact already stated for записа and отчисли. Feminine банката and masculine съветът share плати. Agreement is not a second argument, and a feminine participle is not what the aorist shows. ще плати is the perfective non-past. да плати is the same perfective under да. These are one root, not two senses. There is no particle to separate, and no Hungarian preverbal Focus host. не sits before the verb. The direct object keeps its shape.

Negation · the direct object stays (the cloth this page is for)

Under sentential не, the structural object does not change form. On this root that object is the MeasureP. The spell-out copies the shapes already used on записа and отчислявам: тази сума, три токена, decimal 0,3 ETH. The unit stays inside the QP. The Recipient stays на + DP. There is no nominal genitive for не to write, and this page does not invent one. долара after двадесет is the count form inside the QP. It is not genitive of negation and not a second case of the verb. The same count form is already what три токена shows on the measuring pages. These strings are constructed. The live measuring pages are where the “object stays under не” claim is printed. This site does not print a плащам clause that would count as elicitation of it.

за+DP by complement type (hunch · not a new letter)

Live FEE Consideration is printed: Какво таксувате за един биткойн? and the probe’s за един биткойн on charge-fee-bg. Blame’s Charge also wears за, and that за is a different licenser (Комисията обвини изпълнителя за закъснението on blame-bg). On плащам the MeasureP is the money, so a за+DP of the leftover goods is ranked Consideration — the job the FEE string gives за един биткойн — not a price QP and not a second object. The ranking is a packaging hypothesis. No плащам string prints that DP. Definiteness of the goods noun is not checked. Index 2’s optional outer slot is labeled Purpose. Whether a Purpose phrase can stack beside the Consideration DP is open. It is not checked and not starred. Deduct’s Reason is поради, already used on отчислявам. A поради string of плащам is not printed and is not ranked.

Clitic doubling · open on this verb

Bulgarian can double one argument with a clitic. What is printed is not this root. Blame doubles one direct-object Target: Комисията го обвини изпълнителя за закъснението, and го alone is that Target (Обвиниха го за закъснението). ATT doubles one на-Target: Приписаха му ранното завършване на изпълнителя, and му alone is that Target (Приписаха му успеха). FEE says clitic doubling of the MeasureP is not on the denomination plate, and it does not check a dative clitic. Neither pattern is a printed плащам clause. A doubled string on this page would be a packaging hypothesis, not elicitation, and it is not adopted and not rejected. му on ATT is not blame’s го. If a clitic resumes the MeasureP, the sister fact to reuse is blame’s accusative clitic on a direct object, not a new case. If a clitic resumes the Recipient, the sister fact to reuse is ATT’s му with на. Gender of a decimal clitic is not ranked. The neuter passive on the decimal (0,3 ETH беше записано) is a FIN fact about the participle, not a checked clitic of плащам.

# Pat му плати тази сума на Chris. constructed · not checked · ATT pattern му … на DP is one argument · not a second theta if it holds · not elicited here

# Pat му плати тази сума. constructed · not checked · му alone is ATT’s pronominal Target · whether it is this Recipient is open

# Pat я плати тази сума. constructed · not checked · accusative clitic of a feminine direct object would be one MeasureP if the blame pattern transfers · FEE does not print MeasureP doubling

Index 2 companion · not this geometry

превеждам is the other verb in the Payment cell (Vols. 3, 6). пре- is that companion’s morphology. This page does not fill a GIVE Case frame for it, and it does not copy пре- onto плащам as a particle to separate. English remit / wire / transfer do not license that frame. The same companion relation Hungarian gives átutal beside fizet, and Polish gives przelewać / przelać beside płacić.

Notes

Working paper · October 2026 · Bulgarian micro-entry · Index 2 Payment · Group C

Give-geometry pay in Bulgarian. Recipient’s preferred cloth is на + DP (constructed — no printed плащам clause; money TO, not the FEE probe’s на FROM). Amount is a MeasureP ⟨n, U⟩, the direct object (тази сума / три токена / двадесет долара / 0,3 ETH). Under не that object stays. There is no genitive of negation. Consideration is за + DP on the leftover goods, a hunch guided by printed FEE за един биткойн, not a second object and not a price QP. Same √PAY_GIVE + ApplHAVE geometry as English payGIVE and Polish płacić. No Focus host. No particle separation. плащам / платя are one root family. e2 is Recipient HAS Amount.

Working paper. Bulgarian micro-entry for Index 2 Payment плащам. Geometry is shared with Lexical_Entry_Pay_Argument_Structure and the English payGIVE page, and with live Polish płacić. Case clothes are guided by letters already printed on live Bulgarian pages: the direct-object MeasureP and its stability under не (тази сума, три токена, 0,3 ETH on записа and отчислявам), на + DP on приписвам нещо на някого and, in the other direction, on the FEE probe на Chase, and the printed за on за един биткойн. Constructed diagnostics are labeled. They are not spontaneous-speech citations. Geometry, the Recipient letter, the Consideration ranking, and clitic doubling are working claims, subject to revision.
Constructed examples. No плащам clause is printed on the site. Frames below mirror English Pat paid Chris twenty dollars in a direct-object MeasureP plus на + DP Recipient, with optional за + DP Consideration. Payment-true is e2 (Recipient HAS Amount). Goods-HAVE, invoice-clearance, debit/OWE, HAS_ON_BOOKS, and the decrement are not defaults of this root. Do not fake elicitation.
Class table. Index 2 lists Bulgarian Payment as плащам, превеждам (Vols. 3, 6), with the line Agent > Amount > Recipient (> Purpose) and Amount = measuring. This page deepens плащам only, as one payGIVE root, with perfective платя in the same family. превеждам stays the companion in that cell. No filled Case frame is invented for it. Index 2’s optional outer slot is labeled Purpose. The lexical entry’s for-layer on GIVE is Consideration. Bulgarian’s live for-letter on FEE is printed за. The ranking below uses that letter for a goods DP. It is flagged. No плащам string is printed.
Recipient letter, clitics, and the next language. на + DP is the preferred ApplHAVE cloth because that is the nominal spell-out of a dative-like phrase on live ATT Target, and because the FEE probe already uses на for a person the money is oriented toward — there, the Payer, money FROM. Direction is part of the claim and is not printed on плащам. No на кого frame of плащам is elicited. Clitic doubling stays unchecked. The suggested following Index 2 Payment citation is a pause, or Group D German bezahlen, or the unfilled companions. German is not opened on this tick. Navajo money-HANDLE stays deferred. Do not invent credit-merit-bg.html or a превеждам geometry. Bulgarian payBILL is not opened.

Hierarchy

Same inventory as English payGIVE, the Romance twins, Hungarian fizet, and Polish płacić. Not four-place. Surface count can name Pat, Chris, twenty dollars, and a lawnmower, but the lexicon does not list four co-arguments of √PAY_GIVE / плащам.

двадесет долара = one MeasureP. Twenty is not dollars. Dollars is not a sister of плащам. долара after the numeral is the count form inside that QP, the same inner shape as три токена on the live measuring pages. It is not genitive of negation and not a second case of the verb. There is no extra argument “currency symbol.” тази сума and 0,3 ETH are the same object. The decimal does not show a count-form ending. The noun does not show an accusative ending.

What this page changes, against Polish, is the absence of genitive of negation on that MeasureP. The object stays under не. What it does not change is the inventory. On payGIVE, Recipient HAS Amount and за, if the hunch holds, holds the leftover DP. Payment-true is e2. There is no Bulgarian sell page on this site, so goods-HAVE is not given a local Price cloth here. It remains the missing default, as the Romance sell pages already say of pagare / payer / pagar.

MeasureP WH diagnostics

WH forces Amount ≠ Denomination inside one object of плащам. Verbal WH sees the MeasureP, not unit and degree as two objects. No плащам question is printed. The printed measuring WH on this site is the FEE set Какво таксувате?, В каква валута таксувате?, and Какво таксувате за един биткойн?. The Group C claim printed on that page is that Bulgarian WH clusters do not split Amount from unit, and that the denomination block does not print a starred cluster. None is filed here as elicitation. The плащам strings below reuse those shapes. They are constructed. There is no Hungarian preverbal Focus slot, so WH fronting is not a second host competing with a particle.

  1. ✓ Какво плати Pat? constructed · whole MeasureP · FEE shape Какво таксувате?
  2. ✓ В каква валута плати Pat? constructed · U recoding · FEE shape В каква валута таксувате? · not a second object
  3. ✓ Какво плати Pat за една косачка? constructed · за holds Consideration · FEE shape Какво таксувате за един биткойн?
  4. ✓ На кого плати Pat тази сума? constructed · Recipient WH · на кого · no printed на кого + плащам string
  5. ✓ За какво плати Pat двадесет долара? constructed · Consideration WH · за hunch · not Amount
  6. # A cluster that peels the degree off the unit. not filed · FEE prints no starred cluster · do not invent an LBC elicitation · Polish Ile zapłacił Pat dolarów? is that other language

Amount lives inside MeasureP. The printed rescue of a unit reading on FEE is the single recoding В каква валута таксувате?. В каква валута плати Pat? is that shape on this stem, tagged constructed. The rescue does not make the unit a sister of плати.

Geometry · payGIVE ≠ таксувам ≠ payBILL ≠ записа ≠ отчислявам

In the constructed Pat плаща двадесет долара на Chris, Chris comes to HAVE the twenty. That is give-geometry. на + DP is the preferred spell-out of low ApplHAVE. The Incremental Theme is a MeasureP of funds, not goods. The HAVE claim is the shared geometry. The Recipient letter is the open packaging.

Which theta role is the object in this low ApplHAVE domain is the revisable note Causative templates and argument selection.

  • ≠ таксувам / chargeFEE. FROM dual. The levy is money FROM, e2 = debit / OWE. плащам is money TO, e2 = Recipient HAS Amount. A shared direct-object MeasureP, and a shared на letter, do not make the Appl head one. FEE’s на Chase is the Payer. This page’s на Chris is the Recipient. FEE’s за is Consideration on a debit. This page’s за is a Consideration hunch on a payment. Same letter, different event. FEE leaves a second Payer spelling open. This page’s open letter is Recipient, in the other direction.
  • ≠ payBILL. Invoice/obligation as the object; MeasureP as instrument. English rejects a DOC of twenty dollars and the invoice. This page does not open a Bulgarian BILL lemma, and it does not write фактурата and the money as two objects of GIVE. e2 of BILL is invoice-clearance, not Recipient HAS Amount. FIN’s сметката is an Account under по, not this document.
  • ≠ creditFIN · записа. Ledger increment. The printed cloth is Съветът записа 0,3 ETH по сметката: по+Account, direct-object MeasureP. e2 is HAS_ON_BOOKS, not payout and not Recipient HAS the cash. The shared “object stays under не” fact does not make the roots one lemma. Account there is по. Recipient here, on the hypothesis, is на. The aorist записа is that other root. The aorist плати is this one.
  • ≠ deduct · отчислявам. MeasureP leaves a Domain (от+Domain). e2 is the decrement. The direct object stays under не there too, and that does not define deduct. Payment stays плащам, превеждам in that page’s Index 2 cell. Not HAVE of the Amount. Companion удържам stays unranked there. The bound от- of отчислявам is not a morpheme of плащам.
  • ≠ приписвам / обвинявам / виня. ATT and blame. на on ATT is Target (приписвам нещо на някого), not a payment Recipient. Blame’s direct object is the Target, and its за is Charge content (Комисията обвини изпълнителя за закъснението). Blame’s Target is not the measuring QP. None of them has a MeasureP of funds. There is no Bulgarian merit page. отдавам stays the ATT-page scout.
  • ≠ разменям / swap. Index 2 Transfer cites разменям / обменям, давам, not плащам. плащам does not invert money and goods.
  • Payment-true is e2. A follow-up that Chris never ended up with the twenty denies e2 of payGIVE. Goods-HAVE is sell. Invoice-clearance is BILL. Debit/OWE is таксувам. HAS_ON_BOOKS is записа. The decrement is отчислявам.

Ordinary coercion toward trade (Amount as Theme₁, lawnmower as Theme₂) is available and is not the listed grid. превеждам is not filled in as that coercion.

— MeasureP: direct object stays (тази сума / три токена / 0,3 ETH / двадесет долара)
— Recipient: на + DP stays

Bulgarian плащам does not assign four structural Cases. Amount is the direct object, and it stays that object under sentential не. Recipient, on the preferred hypothesis, is на + DP. Consideration, on the hunch, is inside за + DP. The English DOC applied-object slot — Recipient as a second bare object — has no twin. There is no particle node. плати does not split. There is no bound prefix of платя to leave the verb, and there is no Hungarian prefix that follows the verb.

Absence of genitive of negation is not a new theta and not a missing argument. It is the case behavior of the same MeasureP. The Recipient is outside that object. Whether му or an accusative clitic writes the Recipient or the MeasureP a second time is unchecked. On the sister pages, doubling is one argument written twice, not a DOC.

Amount is Incremental Theme of pay on the give-reading. The lawnmower is Consideration, not Theme, if the за hunch holds. Homomorphism is on ⟨n, U⟩. A passive that promotes the MeasureP is the promotion the measuring pages already use for the direct object. It is constructed here. A passive that promotes the Recipient as a bare subject would be the English DOC twin. It is not filed.

Voice filter: weather fails Payer. Institutional payers (the board, the bank) pass on the English, Romance, Hungarian, and Polish pages, and they pass as Initiators on the live Bulgarian measuring pages. The weather star below is that filter in the clothes already used for Лошото време таксува and Лошото време записа 0,3 ETH по сметката. Constructed. Weaker than Voice on blame — a board can pay; weather cannot be the Payer. Weather as an ATT Target is a different seat and stays on that page.

Omission does not demote the MeasureP or Consideration to pure adjuncts when present. The diagnostic is participanthood under the object slot, binding, and WH — not omitability.

Clitic doubling is not in this list. It is unchecked, not rejected. See the open block above.

N/A · not Bulgarian payGIVE diagnostics

Sibling pages omit diagnostics the language does not have. Bulgarian плащам is a direct-object MeasureP that stays under не, a preferred на + DP Recipient, and a ranked за + DP Consideration hunch, with no separable particle. It is not a copy of Polish genitive of negation, Hungarian Focus, or a Germanic separable prefix.

  • Genitive of negation. N/A. Polish płacić rewrites the MeasureP QP. Bulgarian has no nominal genitive. The object stays. That is the difference that matters.
  • Morphological dative on the Recipient’s name (Chrisowi, komuś). N/A as a noun ending. Full noun phrases do not inflect for dative. на is the nominal spell-out. A pronominal му is the ATT clitic, unchecked here.
  • A Hungarian Focus host, or a separated prefix of плащам. N/A. One preverbal host is the cloth of fizet. fel- belongs to felszámol. le- belongs to levon. Polish za- of zapłacić stays bound on that verb. It is not a morpheme of платя.
  • A filled frame for превеждам, or пре- as a particle of this root. N/A. пре- is the companion’s morphology. The companion stays an Index 2 stem without a GIVE Case frame.
  • An English DOC or to-frame as a second Bulgarian frame. N/A. Recipient is not a second bare object. The English alternation stays on pay-give.html.
  • Romance clitic doubling as this page’s adopted cloth. N/A as an adopted Bulgarian fact. le + a, and Italian gli beside a in separate strings, stay on the Romance pages. Bulgarian doubling is a real sister-page pattern on ATT and blame. It is not checked on плащам.
  • Spanish por / para, Italian per, Hungarian -ért, or Polish za+accusative as Bulgarian letters. N/A. The for-letter under the hunch here is за + DP. It does not govern an accusative ending. Purpose vs Consideration is a complement-type question on that one letter, flagged open where Purpose would stack, and not checked.
  • A CAUSE domain, or Japanese -sase-, as a fourth argument. N/A. -sase- is derivational on Japanese, an outer Type A wrap. It is not lexical causative structure of плащам. This page does not invent a CAUSE domain. The subscript is Causative templates and argument selection.
  • Japanese Double-o, Mandarin 把 / 给 / 为. N/A. Those clothes stay on pay-give-ja.html and pay-give-zh.html.
  • Navajo money-HANDLE as a Bulgarian stem. N/A. Sell · Navajo stays deferred. No Navajo data is invented here.

NegQ pointer · association sites

Negative questions on payGIVE keep the payment map. They do not invent a fifth theta name, a Price, or an invoice. не does not rewrite the MeasureP. It does not rewrite the Recipient. Reason stays outer. Goods-HAVE, invoice-clearance, debit/OWE, HAS_ON_BOOKS, and the decrement are missing as default Neg targets of this root. There is no particle to follow the verb, and no Hungarian Focus host under не.

Bulgarian NegQ / WH–Neg core · all constructed

Missing defaults: no goods-HAVE; no invoice-clearance; no debit/OWE; no HAS_ON_BOOKS; no decrement. A bare не before the verb challenges the payment event. Challenging the money wants the MeasureP, in the same form as the affirmative. Challenging the Recipient wants that person under на, not in a genitive this language does not have.

Group C packaging · this tick Bulgarian only

Group C is the Inner European set already used for Hungarian Focus + nem, Bulgarian clusters, and Polish genitive of negation. Same √PAY_GIVE hierarchy as English, Japanese, Mandarin, Romance, Hungarian, and Polish. The cloth difference on this page is that the direct object stays under не, and that the Recipient is на + DP rather than a morphological dative. It is not a new argument. This tick is Bulgarian плащам / платя only. English is live at pay-give.html. Japanese harau is live at pay-give-ja.html. Mandarin 付 is live at pay-give-zh.html. Spanish pagar is live at pay-give-es.html. French payer is live at pay-give-fr.html. Italian pagare is live at pay-give-it.html and closed Romance. Hungarian fizet is live at pay-give-hu.html; átutal stays unfilled. Polish płacić / zapłacić is live at pay-give-pl.html; przelewać / przelać stay unfilled. The next Index 2 Payment citation is a pause, or Group D German bezahlen, überweisen, or an unfilled companion. German is not opened here. Navajo money-HANDLE remains open/scout. Do not fake elicitation.

Open items

  • Recipient на + DP. Preferred letter, from live ATT Target (приписвам нещо на някого) and from the FEE probe’s на in the opposite direction. No printed плащам string shows на. На кого плати…? is constructed, not elicited. The letter stays open as a field judgment. spec
  • за + DP Consideration. A hunch, guided by printed FEE за един биткойн. Not checked as elicited. Blame’s за is a different licenser. Not a second object and not a price QP. spec
  • Clitic doubling. ATT’s му … на and blame’s го + direct object are printed on those roots. FEE does not print MeasureP doubling. Nothing is checked on плащам. Not adopted. Not rejected. spec
  • Purpose stacked on Consideration. Index 2’s outer slot is labeled Purpose. A Purpose stack beside the за DP is not checked as good or bad. spec
  • Word order of на and the MeasureP. The constructed frames follow the printed FEE/ATT order (object, then на). The other order is not starred. spec
  • A pause, or Group D German bezahlen, or the companions. Another language of payGIVE would not increment VERB_COUNT. German is not opened this tick. A pause is equally in order. превеждам, átutal, and przelewać / przelać stay unfilled. spec
  • превеждам. Named. No filled GIVE frame, no second root, no пре- separation copied onto плащам. spec
  • Bulgarian payBILL. Not merged. No document + money double object is promoted to a second sense page.
  • Count form vs case on двадесет долара. долара is the numeral’s count form. It is not GEN-neg. The cleaner visible pair remains тази сума under не and три токена under не, both constructed on this verb, both already used on the measuring pages.
  • Navajo sell, and an unwritten merit page. sell · Navajo stays deferred. No credit-merit-bg.html.

Corpus filenames

Primary geometry is the English pay lexical entry. Bulgarian clothes for the MeasureP, the stability of that object under не, the на letter, the за letter, the aspect pair’s aorist, and the weather filter are the strings already printed on the FEE, FIN, deduct, ATT, and blame micro-entries. No плащам clause is among them. Constructed Pat/Chris frames diagnose packaging. They are not new elicitation. Index 2 Payment remains плащам, превеждам.

Series placement: Bulgarian sense×language twin of English payGIVE, Japanese harau, Mandarin 付, Spanish pagar, French payer, Italian pagare, Hungarian fizet, and Polish płacić. Continues Group C payGIVE on Index 2 плащам. VERB_COUNT stays 10. Done=104. The suggested following candidate is a pause, or Group D German bezahlen, or an unfilled companion (превеждам, przelewać / przelać, átutal). Does not invent a BILL page, a превеждам geometry, a Bulgarian merit page, or Navajo. Speculation flagged. Recipient на stays open as elicitation. за + DP stays a hunch. Clitic doubling stays unchecked.
