Usage Advice

Use when

• Use from a form's side to name the lexical item it realizes — the natural direction in form-rooted data or projections.

Avoid when

• Avoid asserting both directions redundantly; prefer gmeow:hasLexicalForm from the item and read gmeow:formOf as its inverse.

How to use

• Assert gmeow:formOf from the gmeow:LexicalForm to its gmeow:LexicalItem when the form is the natural subject; tooling reads it as the inverse of gmeow:hasLexicalForm.
