The registry identifies G3415 as a Greek remembering verb, glossed to remember or call to mind. An exact scan finds no word-table row carrying this Strong's number in the governed BSB edition. Exception authority does record an alternate-lemma-form link to G3403, but only to help reviewers understand how another source codes the relevant forms. The crosswalk neither equates the identities everywhere nor permits a route merge, redirect, or reassignment of tokens.
Consequently, John 2:17, John 2:22, and John 12:16 remain evidence about G3403 in this dataset and cannot anchor G3415 prose. With no directly owned verse, the project has no basis here for morphology, distribution, a usage story, theological development, or personal application. The gloss helps identify the lexical entry but proves nothing about a local passage set.
This source therefore protects the identity and the zero count while deferring authoring until a future, separately approved normalization decision or new direct evidence changes the record. The former John teaching is removed because its passages belong to a different governed code.
An empty direct-occurrence set cannot support selecting any verse as the identity's first significant use.
Direct verse evidence for this code is absent. The three John references attached to the alternate-form relationship are useful for auditing G3403's coding, yet the registry expressly withholds token transfer and passage-authoring authority from G3415.
This source therefore stops before identifying an initial use or describing grammar, distribution, doctrine, and application. A later curator must start from an approved identity-normalization transition or newly admitted direct witness, not carry forward the discarded John account.
Canonical development is deferred because this identity presently owns no governed BSB passage from which such a movement could be traced.

At present, G3415 opens a review question about code ownership, not a sermon path based on an attested verse.
It removes a prior mistake in which three John contexts owned by G3403 were narrated under this separate lexical entry.
Present the record internally as a registered remembering verb whose BSB denominator is zero and whose alternate-form crosswalk remains non-authoring.
