Normal Words

Normal words are associated with internal bit patterns consisting only of 1s. Normal words can have one or more 1 bits associated with them. The example below is for the simplest and most common case, where a single bit is associated with a word. When such a word is combined with a label containing no words, the resulting label contains just the word.

 Word1 1-------
 (NULL) --------
 Word1 1-------

In the following example, two normal words each associated with different 1 bits are combined. The resulting label contains both words.

 Word1 1-------
 Word3 --1-----
 Word1 Word3 1-1-----
