     According to the three linear branches of the bilinear function for a freeplay model, the phase space $X\in R^{8}$ can be divided into three regions, $R_{i}(i=1,2,3)$, where each corresponds to a linear system:

     $X'=AX+F_{1}$ in $R_{1}=\{X\in R^{8}|x_{1}<\alpha _{f}\}$

   $f|_{A}:A\rightarrow B$ for any $A\subseteq \operatorname {dom} (f)$.

     Mármost a ragok és képzők többnyire kétalakúak, hogy a mély hangrendű szóhoz mélyet és magashoz magasat lehessen tenni. Ezért azt mondjuk, hogy kép | es | ség | ei | vel, illetve hogy ad | ós | ság | ai | val. Így nyilván mindenki ráismer erre a harmóniára.
