Usage Advice

Use when

• Use on an EtymologicalDerivation to attach the usage attestations, sources, or other evidence that support the derivation claim.

Avoid when

• Avoid treating the evidence as proof of correctness (it supports, not settles, the claim) and avoid forcing a single evidence node — derivations may rest on several, so keep it non-functional.

How to use

• Point gmeow:derivationEvidence at gmeow:UsageAttestation nodes, sources, or other gmeow:Entity evidence; carry the confidence the evidence warrants on the observation spine.
