* Contrasts of three words occurring in the list of contrasts of four 

 words, and contrasts of two words occurring in the lists of three and 

 four words, are not repeated in the lists of three and two words res])ec- 

 tively. The contrasts of two and three words are therefore actually 

 much more numerous than they appear in those lists.
