kei
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: Borrowed from Japanese 軽 (kei, “lightweight”), from Japanese 軽自動車 (keijidōsha).
Inflected forms:
Senses:
gloss: A class of lightweight vehicles with small engines.
pos: noun
tags: Japan
examples: Nissan Motor Co. revamped one of its more popular lightweight kei cars as the Japanese carmaker refreshes its aging lineup. The fourth-generation Roox will go on sale by the end of the year for ¥1.6 million ($10,800), the company said Friday. The new model has better mileage, more safety features and built-in connectivity. Kei cars account for about a third of Japan’s automobile market and the Roox, a gasoline-powered automobile initially released in 2009, has sold an average of 80,000 units per year, making it one of the more popular kei models among the three that Nissan sells. The carmaker is releasing the vehicle as it looks to cut costs, eliminate jobs and shutter factories. […] Japan’s best-selling kei car is Honda Motor Co.’s N-BOX, which sold more than 200,000 units in 2024. Nissan’s Sakura, also a kei-sized electric car that sells more than 20,000 units annually, is the best-selling battery-powered vehicle in Japan.

Want to hire a coding superstar? Call the agent.
Is your organization looking for its next new hire, that superstar performer to take things to the next level? Be careful: Organizations are greater than just one individual. If you're that superstar, remember to be a good team player. You'll feel better about your job and you'll perform at an even higher level.
"A superstar employee that is creating that toxic work environment is probably costing that company more than he or she is bringing in," Martin says.
There's no sense in hiring a superstar developer who will quit after three months because she can't stand the management style or requires flexibility the hiring company doesn't offer.

If a star could attain a certain mass --- say a million to 100 million times the mass of our own sun --- then its gravity would become 100 times as powerful as the forces generated by the strongest known nuclear reactions. Such a super superstar, in a normal course of its evolution, would contract.
Toward the centre of the cluster, where they were more strongly congested, the whole region glowed as though as it were a monstrous superstar.
Perhaps a supermassive cluster can coalesce to form a superstar -- a star with a mass of 1 million to 100 million solar masses.

gloss: An arrangement of units that together bears a meaning.
pos: noun
examples: To combine a sequence of shots into a larger syntagma, there has to be a connection between the successive shots.
The Gospel is not a system of Theology, nor a Syntagma of theoretical propositions and conclusions for the enlargement of speculative knowledge, ethical or metaphysical.
A syntagma is, consequently, a unit of actual relationship, while a paradigm is a unit of potential relationship.
Note that [Christian] Metz is interested in narrative elements—syntagmas—that can exist within shots as well as between them, an important refinement since, as we have already indicated, the effects of many types of montage can be accomplished within a shot without actually cutting.
So he gives us a sort of potential sequence—an undetermined sequence—that represents a new type of syntagma, a novel form of the “logic of montage,” but that remains entirely a figure of narrativity.
