Abstract
Abstract I present here the results of a quantitative analysis of weak object pronoun placement in Later Medieval Greek. The description that I provide concurs, in large part, with the conclusions of Mackridge (1993), but also introduces some new complexities and disproves certain previous assumptions. On the basis of these results, I evaluate the latest proposal that seeks to account for this pattern (Condoravdi & Kiparsky 2001) and demonstrate that, despite its advantages, this new account is founded on a controversial assumption, and it also fails to answer some of the more interesting questions raised by the data. I propose an alternative approach, which treats the variation as the result of analogical change.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
