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

(NULL) 

–––––––– 

Word1 

1––––––– 

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