    Parameters
    ----------
    u : str
        The key of the first node of the edge.
    v : str
        The key of the second node of the edge.
    t : float

    Returns
    -------
    str

    ------
    ValueError
        If `t` is not `0 <= t <= 1`.
    Exception
        If `u` and `v` are not neighbors.
