When the correspondence between the word entered and one of the entry words developed by the entry word memory 25 is detected by the detection circuit 26, the detection circuit 26 generates output signals denoted as Q representing the presence of the correspondence.

 Interjection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An interjection, sometimes called a filled pause, is a part of speech that usually has no grammatical connection to the rest of the sentence and simply expresses emotion on the part of the speaker, although most interjections have clear definitions.
Interjections are generally uninflected function words and have sometimes been seen as sentence-words, since they can replace or be replaced by a whole sentence (they are holophrastic).
The word "interjection" literally means "thrown in between" from the Latin inter ("between") and iacere ("throw").

In the case that the ways of understanding similar observable words are similar or at least etymologically linked, these observable words are held to be the same, that is, belonging to the same set, to be elements of the same set (for instance, a book on the table and a table in the book).
He has counted, not the observable words, not their sets, nor word forms, but the sets of word forms, that is, the sets of some sets, the inflected or the uninflected words (in the last-mentioned set there is only one element).
But once a distinction is made between the observable words, the word forms and the words, the classification is on solid ground.

 Uninflected word   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In the context of linguistic morphology, anuninflected word is a word that has no morphological marks (inflection) such as affixes, Umlaut, Ablaut, consonant gradation, etc., indicating declension or conjugation.
Only words which cannot be inflected at all should be called "uninflected" or "invariable", but in common usage these termscan be extended to words that appear in their basic form.
The term "uninflected" can also be restricted to one or more morphological features;for example, one can say that Japanese verbs are uninflected forperson and number, but they do inflect for tense, politeness, and several moods and aspects.

 Notes to Glossary of Sanskrit Terms in Sri Aurobindo's Works
In the works of Sri Aurobindo, words are transliterated not only according to the standard system, but according to a freer system, in which diacritical marks are omitted and a more natural English equivalent to the Sanskrit letter is employed.
In the glossary if a word spelled according to the freer system differs from the standard form in the letters used (disregarding diacritical marks), it is given after the standard form within parentheses.
Note that Sanskrit words used in the definitions are shown in italics and are themselves defined in their own places.

Methodology Input to our system are the uninflected content words of an utterance; thus, many function words such as determiners (e.g., the, a) and prepositions (e.g., of, in) will be left out.
The system is responsible for filling in missing words as well as correctly conjugating the verb and forming a syntactically correct utterance.
The resulting semantic representation (along with a specification of the original word order) is then passed to the translation component.

At a very early period of spoken language, word-forms were no doubt significant in themselves, without inflections, and constituted the whole of language,---just as to a child the name of some familiar object will stand for all he can say about it.
At a somewhat later stage, such uninflected words put side by side made a rudimentary form of proposition: as a child might say fire bright; horse run.
Not until language reached this last stage was there any fixed limit to the association of words, or any rule prescribing the manner in which they should be combined.

There is a subtle difference between uninflecting the input as terms (-fb) and uninflecting the input as a sequence of words (-fB).
When the input is viewed as a sequence of words however, the resulting uninflection is different.
If a term goes through an uninflectional morphology mutation, and the term is not known to the lexicon, but its rule generated form is known to the lexicon, this variant is thrown out, because it is likely to be wrong.

 Inflection
Head words are generally uninflected, that is, nouns appear in singular form and verbs have the base (or infinitival) form.
The morphological component will be able to map inflected words onto the appropriate head words and will retain the information provided by the inflectional  affix by adding the relevant features.
Another way in which one could use them is to compile out a full form dictionary from a dictionary of uninflected words, essentially by running the morphological rules over the dictionary of uninflected forms.

 On Language Making - VI
Hybrid words in which one of the component elements is of Latin or French extraction, and the other native English, are still frequent; these tend to be displaced by regular English words [as un-mixable rather than immiscible].
In using the English -able we simplify words to derived in two ways (1) words ending in -able retain the form of the verbal root unchanged [destroy-able from destroy, but destruct-ible; un-correct-able from correct, but incorrig-ible]; (2) words ending in -able remain uninflected while words ending in -ible tend to flexion.
It is true that we not infrequently see new irregularities spring up where the formations were formerly regular; but these instances are very far from counterbalancing the opposite class, in which words once irregularly inflected become regular, or are given up in favour of regularly inflecting words.
