Decode the artificial lexicon: given ‘‘dionot = oak tree’’, ‘‘blyonot = oak leaf’’, and ‘‘blycrin = maple leaf’’, determine which choice expresses ‘‘maple syrup’’ by isolating the morpheme for maple and pairing it with syrup.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: crinweel

Explanation:

We infer repeated stems and attach an appropriate second morpheme for 'syrup'.


  • Given data
    'not' appears in 'dionot' (oak tree) and 'blyonot' (oak leaf) → 'not' relates to oak.'bly' (leaf) since blyonot (oak leaf) and blycrin (maple leaf) share 'bly' with differing species stems.Therefore 'crin' = maple (from blycrin = maple leaf).

Concept/Approach
Select an option beginning with 'crin' (maple) and pair with a plausible morpheme for 'syrup'.
Step-by-Step calculation
1) 'maple' → crin.2) Among choices, only 'crinweel' starts with 'crin'.3) Infer 'weel' as 'syrup' by elimination and pattern logic.
Verification/Alternative
'blymuth' would read 'leaf–(unknown)', 'hupponot' contains 'not' (oak), 'patricrin' ends with maple but lacks a known 'syrup' element — the best match is 'crinweel'.
Common pitfalls
Mistaking the 'oak' stem 'not' for maple, or assuming 'bly' = tree rather than 'leaf'.
Final Answer
crinweel
