Word: protomolecule Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From proto- + molecule. 1. A collection of unstably bound atoms that has the potential to form a molecule if the structure can shed sufficient energy. Example: Molecular hydrogen is by the way a very difficult species to form in the gas phase by radiative association of H atoms, mainly because the protomolecule formed in this way is vibrationally highly excited and cannot get rid of the energy excess to enter inside the potential well and reach stability in a time short enough to avoid breaking. Example: This is a consequence of the fact that the protomolecule, just formed in a high vibrational level, has to release quickly (roughly in a time comparable with its vibrational period) an energy excess of about four and a half electronvolt. 2. A relatively simple molecule from which a more complex molecule is derived. Example: It is most probable that all matter is simply the allotropic expression of one element and that the protomolecule is the union of the positively and negatively electrified etheric corpuscle.

Word: introflexive Part of Speech: adj 1. Pertaining to languages in which grammatical information is conveyed through the insertion of a pattern of vowels into a consonantal root, also called root-and-pattern. Labels: not-comparable Example: Considering the effect segmentation has on this introflexive type it may be viewed as a special case of the agglutinative type: Every "normal" word (word stem) can be broken down into a (discontinuous) root (normally consisting of three consonants C₁C₂C₃) and a stem-constitutive morpheme: fataha 'to open (tr.)' must be analyzed as /f...t...h/ 'OPEN' (the root) plus /CaCaCa/, which represnents the basic verbal stem, also called the first (verbal) stem or stem I. Example: The introflexive type is relatively strongly developed in the Semitic languages; it never serves as a basis for the whole structure of a language, but is always combined with another, more extensively developed type.
