Chapter 1–8 vocabulary concordance — source-aware working reference
Edition v0.1 — October 10, 2026. Original student headwords are transcribed as source labels; this glossary is editorial and does not replace canonical140-entry lexicon or alter original editions. The exact chapter/line provenance relates to archived v0.1 Markdown files.
Extraction: 96 glossary headword occurrences; 77 casefolded distinct headwords. The prior S09 inventory reported 96 occurrences / 77 distinct; any difference is explicitly recorded, not silently normalized.

Repeated senses and guards
Occurrences of the same headword with different chapter definitions remain separate in their cited cells. Casefold identity does not by itself prove identical meaning. All aliases remain contextual; no automatic replacement of original captions.
Reserve is held for a specified condition, not general surplus. Available does not prove permission, usability or actual use. Received does not prove understood, acted upon or completed. Respect in a child-facing example cannot supersede other-directed multidimensional conveyed Respect. A learner is never reduced to a scalar.
Supplement-only terms: D03 calibrated distrust/disdain; D04 Self-Esteem/Self-Efficacy; D05 observed expression and inferred feeling; D06 pacing/health condition; D02 sample space, modeled probability and observed frequency. These are source-aware pointers, not claimed original chapter headwords.
Limits
CanonicalLX identifiers above are broad family cross-references grounded in prior recorded curriculum mappings; unverified exact per-term LX number is not fabricated. Resolve exact per-entry LX IDs against the original 140-entry JSON during assembly. Retain all 96/77 inventory exceptions and aliases if counts differ. Broader translation, school/legal rights, page accessibility and book acceptance remain separate.
