Collection Words

ThinkingOutLoud.DonaldNoyes.20090226 20100827

Within the class of Compound words and Simple words is found a set of words which refer to Collections. These I call CollectionWords (to make a WikiWord of it and to express it as a CollectionWord itself, I add the final "s" which I call the FinalSchar.

I am thinking that there are many SimpleWords and CompoundWords (notice again the FinalSchar) which can be further separated and grouped so as to fall in a GroupWithCommonCharacteristics.

They fall under several types:

SimpleWords which indicate a collection through their meaning (usually as a type)
- animal
- plant
- meeting
- reunion
- crowd
- audience
- group
- screened (differentiated)(as those who have passed some fitness tests or have documents indicating such (membership, credit-worthy, passed through detection devices, etc.))
SimpleWords for CollectionContainers
- collection
- array
- tuple
- list
- hash
- database
- library
- numbes
- type
SimpleWords with an added FinalSchar (usually but not always a noun).
- friends
- programmers
- actions
- procedures
- contents
CompoundWords
- dashed-words (SimpleWords separated by a "-"
- OtherWords which are delimited by special characters
- What we here call WikiWords [type UpperCaseChar followed by any number of type LowerCaseChar followed by the same again and perhaps again and again)
- HyperWords (Words which have a SpecialAppearance (underlined, tinted, or both) and have an EmbeddedHyperlink)
- Other Special CompoundContructionWords which include numbers and other characters
