| # cross-lingual-span-profile | |
| A per-**MACULA-lexeme** structural profile — span length / multi-word tendency — aggregated across every | |
| language the lexeme-aligner has aligned. Every language anchors to the same lexeme, so this is a | |
| language-independent INTERLINGUA signal: it tells you whether a Hebrew/Greek lexeme typically needs a | |
| single target word or a multi-word phrase (compound place names — "Kadesh Barnea" — compound numbers — | |
| "four thousand"), based on what OTHER languages actually did, with NO target-language model for the | |
| language you're applying it to. | |
| `n_langs` = how many independent languages (editions of the same language pooled first, so a 2-edition | |
| language doesn't out-vote a 1-edition one) attest the lexeme; `multiword_rate`/`span_mean` = the per- | |
| language-averaged span statistics. Confidence scales with `n_langs` — refresh as more languages are | |
| aligned (see the lexeme-aligner's `cross_lang_prior.py`). | |
| **CC0-1.0** — derived alignment statistics, no source text redistributed. | |
