Table A1. Candidate Uzbek Separation Verbs Considered During Domain Delimitation

Verb Gloss Included in Analysis Reason for Inclusion or Exclusion
kesmoq cut ✓ included basic, non-derived verb encoding general instrument-mediated incision within the restricted domain
qirqmoq trim or cut with scissors ✓ included basic verb encoding configurationally narrower incision subtype (reduction or shortening)
yormoq split ✓ included basic verb encoding structural bifurcation along inherent axis (splitting macro-type)
sindirmoq break (transitive) ✓ included basic causative verb encoding structural failure (fracture macro-type)
parchalamoq fragment; break into pieces ✗ excluded encodes fragmentation into multiple irregular pieces; exceeds binary separation focus of restricted domain
maydalamoq crush; grind ✗ excluded encodes pulverisation or reduction to particulate matter; outside domain delimitation
bo’lmoq divide; separate set aside (hyperonym) manner-neutral division verb: entails separation into parts but does not specify manner(cf. English divide); default for explicit binary division (ikkiga bo’lmoq); discussed as the result-pole hyperonym, not as a manner-specifying member of the comparison set
ikkiga bo’lmoq divide into two ✗ excluded (analytic expression) periphrastic construction; describes result state without specifying force profile; treated as descriptive paraphrase rather than core lexical verb
uzmoq tear; detach ✗ excluded typically associated with flexible materials or detachment rather than solid-object separation under force
sinmoq break (intransitive) ✗ excluded intransitive and inchoative member of the causative alternation (sindirmoq is its causative); not central to the agentive force-based domain, though the alternation is discussed as a verb-class diagnostic
Note: The verbs were considered during initial domain delimitation. Inclusion was restricted to basic, conventionalised verbs in standard Uzbek encoding intentional force-mediated separation of solid inanimate objects within the narrowly defined domain.
