# Batch 302 process log - complementary shellfish/crustacean non-singular pronoun perception after Rule 259

Date: 2026-07-09

## Scope

Rule 260 is a conservative complementary non-singular-pronoun perception sweep over the same ten Rule 213
shellfish/crustacean noun heads used in Rules 257-259:

- `baymbay` large mud clam.
- `darkay` clam.
- `kaduy` snail.
- `karraway` karraway snail.
- `karruku` ghost crab.
- `kulil` jellyfish.
- `kuyalin` small conical shellfish.
- `marrkabina` oyster.
- `ngarrakaja` shellfish.
- `nuwi` squid.

The batch reverses the here/there pairing from Rule 259 while retaining only sourced bare nominative pronouns in the
same nonpast perception construction:

- `Ngali TARGET yaluy nyajil.`
- `Ngaliny TARGET yinyay nyajil.`
- `Yubal TARGET yaluy nyajil.`
- `Nganjin TARGET yinyay nyajil.`
- `Ngana TARGET yaluy nyajil.`

## Preflight

Exact duplicate preflight over the planned 50 Kuku surfaces returned zero accepted, revised, or under-review
collisions.

Token-aware target coverage before banking, among accepted/revised rows after Rule 259:

- `baymbay`: 21.
- `darkay`: 26.
- `kaduy`: 21.
- `karraway`: 20.
- `karruku`: 21.
- `kulil`: 22.
- `kuyalin`: 20.
- `marrkabina`: 20.
- `ngarrakaja`: 20.
- `nuwi`: 21.

Support coverage before banking, among accepted/revised rows after Rule 259:

- `ngali`: 169.
- `ngaliny`: 104.
- `yubal`: 115.
- `nganjin`: 121.
- `ngana`: 869.
- `yaluy`: 2343.
- `yinyay`: 2606.
- `nyajil`: 2817.

## Guardrails

The batch must not open any of the following:

- Rule 171 and Rule 223 shellfish/crustacean target drift or excluded candidates: `balungkul`, `juwarru`,
  `marakal`, `marku`, `marubu`, `munji`, `ngulumuku`, `wukuju`, `wuybur`, `yulba`, `kiju`, `dakaldakal`,
  `kajarrbi`, `kunkun`, `kurrija`, `ngajay`, `nikar`, `wakal`, `wuli-wuli`, `wurrul`, `jirrum`, `mili`, or any
  alternate or synonym head.
- Edible, food, eating, bait, use, cooking, frying, gathering, collecting, catching, fishing, spearing, netting, sea,
  reef, rock, night, habitat, water, shell/body-part, sting, burn, ink/action, movement, danger, event, species
  expansion, secondary label, or source-prose semantics.
- Source-prose alternates: `darkay` as small mud clam in an independent size claim, `kaduy` night/nocturnal prose,
  `karraway` edible reading, `karruku` fiddler-crab expansion, `kulil` synonyms `mili`/`wuybur`, `kuyalin` bait/use,
  `marrkabina` edible oyster reading, `ngarrakaja` edible/species prose, and `nuwi` ink-throwing event.
- Target case, target derivation, target compound, productive reduplication, pronoun case, demonstrative case,
  perception compound, purposive, past, or support inflection.

## Execution checklist

- Bank 50 explicit hand-authored rows as `under_review`.
- Run corpus lint before close.
- Read back all 50 rows from SQLite.
- Close only after morphology, lexicon, syntax, fidelity, and register lenses pass.
- Record lessons and lexeme/source logs.
- Refresh export.
- Update the four living books.
- Render docs.
- Verify local rendered docs and live `https://mobtranslate.com/docs/`.
- Final lint and count audit.

## Closeout

Batch 302 closed successfully on 2026-07-09.

- Banked 50 hand-authored complementary shellfish/crustacean non-singular pronoun perception rows under Rule 260.
- Closed 50 rows as accepted after morphology, lexicon, syntax, fidelity, and register review.
- Post-close lint: `lint: 15197 rows scanned, 0 issues flagged`.
- Verified count: 15,197 / 20,000.
- Remaining to target: 4,803.
- Status split after close: 14,286 accepted, 911 revised, 0 under review.
- Kuku words after close: 116,147.
- Export refreshed: train 12,747, dev 1,231, synthtest 1,219.
- Living books updated: operator guide, sample production pages, grammar cheatsheet, and dictionary errata now record
  Batch 302 / Rule 260, 15,197 verified, the export split, and Rule 261 handoff.
- Rendered docs locally with `./render-docs.sh` and verified generated `public-docs` HTML/Markdown markers.
- Live docs verified at `https://mobtranslate.com/docs/`: index, four HTML documents, and four Markdown sources returned
  200; `/docs` returned 301 to `/docs/`; live HTML content contains Batch 302 / Rule 260 and 15,197 verified.

## Handoff to Rule 261

Continue from 15,197 verified sentences, with 4,803 remaining to reach 20,000. Use `bank_303.py` and `close_303.py`
for the next 50-row batch if continuing the sequence.

Do not infer shellfish/crustacean food/use/habitat/source-prose/event semantics from the Rule 260 perception frames.
The Rule 260 forms only license the complementary bare-pronoun nonpast perception bands:
`Ngali TARGET yaluy nyajil`, `Ngaliny TARGET yinyay nyajil`, `Yubal TARGET yaluy nyajil`,
`Nganjin TARGET yinyay nyajil`, and `Ngana TARGET yaluy nyajil`.
