3.3 Terminal category symbols named. The terminal symbols are those appearing in lexical entries. In this list is included a set of words which should be found associated in the LEXICON with the category symbol in question. Those lists ending with an ellipsis are open classes. This means that it is possible that the language user will discover or invent a word to belong to this class, i.e., it is added to freely. The absence of an ellipsis indicates that the list is a relatively closed class, i.e., a set having only these words as members. The first chart relates to dates in the Western Calendars; the second, to dates in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) Calendars.
