The lead's fork map — frozen before stage 0 was dispatched
This map classifies nothing. The primary classifier is two seats shown the Russian and no
English (design.md §4). This is the secondary, and prediction P4 is the comparison between them.
Read at the graded span only, from R15-CRIB against R15-ENGLISH: did the two briefs produce
different choices here, or only different wording?
| site | lead | what the two briefs did differently at the span |
|---|---|---|
L1-s1 |
FORK | рядчик transliterated against Englished, and «впились… глазами» kept as a fastening against a flat was fixed on him |
L1-s10 |
FORK | three pre-posed adjectives kept in Russian order against redistributed (A Russian, truthful, ardent soul / A Russian soul, honest and burning); «его русские струны» left with its opaque pronoun against resolved |
L2-s1 |
FORK | целовальник — a sworn licensed spirit-seller — as tavern-keeper against publican, and the Russian's name-first predicate order kept against inverted into an English opener |
L2-s9 |
NO-FORK | colon against full stop, well-known against notorious. No decision, only wording |
L3-s1 |
FORK | «свое впечатление» kept as my impression against expanded to the impression he had made on me |
L3-s11 |
FORK | «белел» — a verb meaning to show white — carried as barely showed white against dropped; «грудь» as the breast against one's chest |
L4-s1 |
NO-FORK | thin against slender, of some twenty-three years against of three and twenty. кафтан is lost in both arms, so it is not a place the briefs part |
L4-s8 |
NO-FORK | passive against active, kerchief against handkerchief |
L5-s1 |
FORK | «сбитнем» — the sbiten simile — and the litotes «не была лишена… грации», kept against unwound |
L5-s5 |
FORK | the «не то что… но» construction kept as a dash-parenthesis against rebuilt as not modest, for… but |
L6-s1 |
FORK | «спросил… у» kept as the un-English asked… of the Wild Barin against asked… addressing the Wild Gentleman; and the Дикий-Барин nickname |
L6-s15 |
FORK | рядчик again, and «провел рукой по волосам» kept as passed a hand over his hair against smoothed his hair with his hand |
Lead map: 9 FORK, 3 NO-FORK.
A property of this map the lead declares against itself: three of the nine forks (L1-s1,
L6-s1, L6-s15) are forks because a Russian realia noun or nickname recurs there, not because
the sentence's argument or rhythm forces anything. If the seats' map is the same nine, the agreement
may be an agreement about vocabulary rather than about difficulty. P4 is stated on the whole map
and will be read with this in it.
