* By a ''subword'', ''substring'', or ''slice'' on index '' | * By a ''subword'', ''substring'', or ''slice'' on index ''i'' of a word ''S'' we mean the word ''S''[''i''] ''S''[''i'' + 1] ... ''S''[''j'' − 1] ''S''[''j''], where indexes are in '''Z'''/len(''S'')'''Z''', and we denote this word ''S''[''i'' : ''j'']. | ||
