    DO with lemma "do" whose dependency role is NOT auxiliary. Captures
    pro-verb use where DO substitutes for a lexical verb.
examples:
- text: She works harder than he _does_.
- text: I never used to like it, but now I _do_.
- text: They said they would help, and they _did_.

notes: >-
  Biber's f_12 and Xiao's B22 count pro-verb DO (DO standing in for a lexical
  verb). pybiber implements this as lemma="do" & dep!=aux. See [[DOAUX]] for
  the complementary MFTE feature counting DO as auxiliary.
