  • Names in lower case are grammatical constructs.
  • Names in UPPER CASE are selma'o (lexeme) names, and are terminals.
  • Concatenation is expressed by juxtaposition with no operator symbol.
  • "|" represents alternation (choice).
  • "?" represents an optional element.
  • "&" represents "and/or" (“A & B” is the same as “A | B | A B”).
  • "+" represents optional repetition of the construct to the left. Left-grouping is implied; right-grouping is shown by explicit self-referential recursion with no “+”
  • "*" represents optional repetition of the construct to the left starting from 0 occurrences. Left-grouping is implied; right-grouping is shown by explicit self-referential recursion with no “*”
  • "()" serves to indicate the grouping of the other operators. Otherwise, “+” binds closer than "&", which binds closer than "|".
  • "#" is shorthand for “[free+]”, a construct which appears in many places.
  • "//" encloses an elidable terminator, which may be omitted (without change of meaning) if no grammatical ambiguity results.
