  2. Root system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_system

    The rank of a root system Φ is the dimension of E. Two root systems may be combined by regarding the Euclidean spaces they span as mutually orthogonal subspaces of a common Euclidean space. A root system which does not arise from such a combination, such as the systems A 2, B 2, and G 2 pictured to the right, is said to be irreducible.

  3. Alley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alley

    An alley or alleyway is a narrow lane, path, or passageway, often reserved for pedestrians, which usually runs between, behind, or within buildings in towns and cities. It is also a rear access or service road ( back lane ), or a path, walk, or avenue (French allée ) in a park or garden.

  4. Root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root

    A true root system consists of a primary root and secondary roots (or lateral roots). the diffuse root system: the primary root is not dominant; the whole root system is fibrous and branches in all directions. Most common in monocots. The main function of the fibrous root is to anchor the plant.

    Q: I see cars going what looks like at least 25 mph in the alley behind where I work. That seems too fast to me. That seems too fast to me. Is there a speed limit for alleys?

  6. English orthography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_orthography

    As a result, there is a somewhat regular system of pronouncing "foreign" words in English, [citation needed] and some borrowed words have had their spelling changed to conform to this system. For example, Hindu used to be spelled Hindoo, and the name Maria used to be pronounced like the name Mariah, but was changed to conform to this system ...

  7. Rhizome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizome

    In botany and dendrology, a rhizome (/ ˈ r aɪ z oʊ m / RY-zohm) [note 1] is a modified subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. Rhizomes are also called creeping rootstalks or just rootstalks. [3] Rhizomes develop from axillary buds and grow horizontally. The rhizome also retains the ability to allow new shoots ...

  8. Phonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonics

    Reading by using phonics is often referred to as decoding words, sounding-out words or using print-to-sound relationships.Since phonics focuses on the sounds and letters within words (i.e. sublexical), [13] it is often contrasted with whole language (a word-level-up philosophy for teaching reading) and a compromise approach called balanced literacy (the attempt to combine whole language and ...

  9. Restricted root system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restricted_root_system

    The restricted root system of a symmetric space and its dual can be identified. For symmetric spaces of noncompact type arising as homogeneous spaces of a semisimple Lie group , the restricted root system and its Weyl group are related to the Iwasawa decomposition of the Lie group.
