In the wider sense, an alphabet is a script that is segmental at the phoneme level — that is, it has separate glyphs for individual sounds and not for larger units such as syllables or words.

) While Rotokas has a small alphabet because it has few phonemes to represent ( just eleven ), Book Pahlavi was small because many letters had been conflated — that is, the graphic distinctions had been lost over time, and diacritics were not developed to compensate for this as they were in Arabic, another script that lost many of its distinct letter shapes.

In later Pahlavi papyri, up to half of the remaining graphic distinctions of these twelve letters were lost, and the script could no longer be read as a sequence of letters at all, but instead each word had to be learned as a whole — that is, they had become logograms as in Egyptian Demotic.

Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts ; however, like the decorative arts, it creates objects where the practical considerations of use are essential — in a way that they are usually not for a painting, for example.

Other exotic baryons have been proposed, such as pentaquarks — baryons made of four quarks and one antiquark ( B = + + + − = 1 ), but their existence is not generally accepted.

Retail payments are generally for relatively small-dollar amounts and often involve a depository institution's retail clients — individuals and smaller businesses.

At each end is a goal 2. 14 m ( 7 feet ) high and 3. 66 m ( 12 ft ) wide measured from the inner sides of the posts and crossbar, and an approximately semi-circular area 14. 63 m ( 16 yd ) from the goal known as the shooting circle ( or D or arc ), bounded by a solid line, with a dotted line 5 m ( 5 yd 6 in — this marking was not established until after metric conversion ) from that, as well as lines across the field 22. 90 m ( 25 yd ) from each end-line ( generally referred to as the 23 m lines ) and in the center of the field.
