Anglish Plurals | Anglish Possessives |
Anglish allows compound table and row names as well as compound column names. Individual cells, rows and columns can be accessed using compound names and the Anglish possessive constructions. The table below has compound row and column names. Each cell is labeled with the row-column compound name combination that selects it.
------------------------------------- | |unknown |nonzero |value | | | |term | | ------------------------------------- |smaller |smaller |smaller |smaller | |number |number |number |number | | |unknown |nonzero |value | | | |term | | ------------------------------------- |larger |larger |larger |larger | |number |number |number |number | | |unknown |nonzero |value | | | |term | | -------------------------------------Complete columns can be selected and processed at once using Anglish Plurals Sometimes it is instructive to write equations as part of the row labels as was discussed in Class III problems. Anglish requires all special symbols, such as "+" and "=", which are used to seperate columns or rows, to be replicated as shown below.
------------------------------------------ | |unknownXfactor=timeX = | | | X = Xrate=effort| ------------------------------------------ | Pete | | 2 | | | 1 | |++++++++--------------------------------- | Joe | | 1 | | | 1 | |========--------------------------------- |combined| | | 3 | | 1 | ------------------------------------------ The "time" column label can only be given once. Otherwise, the multi-label feature of Anglish would read the column name as "time time". For this reason in Anglish programs, the formula operators are often eliminated. The formula relationships are given in the statements after the table.------------------------------------------ | |unknown|factor|time|rate|effort| ------------------------------------------ Pete's unknown = Pete's effort / Pete's factor; Joe's unknown = Joe's effort / Joe's factor;
