Each branch of the tree ends in a terminal node.

In addition, non terminal nodes are often assigned network addresses.

Each node at the bottom level of the tree (terminal nodes) receives a beat.

Empty terminal nodes correspond to rests or form part of a note that spans several beats.

A tree with no terminal nodes is called pruned.

A play is thus a path through the tree from the root to a terminal node.

This process is continued until either the end of the input item or a terminal node in the tree is reached.

There are two types of terminal nodes called 0-terminal and 1-terminal.

Each input word is shown beneath its terminal node.

Each terminal node or group of nodes on the network represents an activity area or department.
