**My Analysis of "Strategy" in Football**

Okay, so the prompt is about football players intentionally getting cards to reset their disciplinary record – interesting. The target word is "strategy," and I need to figure out the best definition. Hmm, I have two candidates: "an elaborate and systematic plan of action" and "military science."

Given the context of sports and planning, it's clear we're not talking about military science here. While there might be some metaphorical overlap, the deliberate getting of cards to clear a record is definitely not referring to military science, so the second option is immediately disqualified.

Therefore, the first sense – "an elaborate and systematic plan of action" – is the most fitting. It perfectly describes the intentional, planned nature of what the players are doing. This is the sense that should be indexed.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Game" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "game," and the context mentions a strategy impacting the "next game" for Real Madrid. My mind immediately starts sifting through potential meanings. The context seems to be about a single event, a match or play in this case, specifically a football/soccer match.

I'm considering the potential senses: *game%1:04:00::* which is the general abstract concept of a game, like chess or tennis, and *game%1:04:03::*, a single play of a sport. Considering the phrase "useful strategy for the next game", I'm leaning heavily towards the second sense - a specific match. The context highlights that a team would not be able to count on those players for the "next game", strongly implying that this is about a specific sports match. "Match" and "game" (sense 2) are synonymous here.

To be thorough, I'm quickly double-checking. Phrases like "the same game" and "the next game" explicitly refer to individual events. So, the singular sports match definition fits perfectly. I'm confident that the correct sense to use is **game%1:04:03::**.

**Analyzing the Word "Players" in a Sporting Context**

Okay, here's how I'm approaching this. The target word is "players," and we're dealing with Real Madrid, a football/soccer club. So, the most likely meaning has to be related to the sport itself. Let's run through the candidates. "Participant in a game" seems like a slam dunk from the get-go. "Musician," "actor," "someone pursuing multiple partners," and "important participant in a business deal" are all immediately off-base, though one must think carefully.

The specific context is Real Madrid players receiving cards and avoiding sanctions. Therefore, the concern is about them competing in a future match. This, more than anything else, definitively points towards sense number one: *a person who participates in or is skilled at some game*. It has to be referring to someone actively involved in the football game itself. No question about it.

**Analyzing the Semantic Nuances of "Advantage"**

Okay, here's how I'm breaking down this "advantage" usage. The sentence is "The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game." My initial thought is to consider the possible senses from the knowledge base.

I've got three options: a generic "superior position" (sense 1), a tennis-specific score (sense 2 - immediately dismissible!), and a "benefit resulting from some event or action" (sense 3). Given the football context, the tennis sense is immediately off the table.

Now, it's a matter of choosing between the "superior position" and the "benefit" senses. The critical phrase is "consists in the fact that..." That structure *strongly* suggests a *specific* benefit is being described, not just a general superior standing. The action described is the players *deliberately* incurring a card to avoid future suspension. This leads to a *specific reward* – starting the next phase clean.

The text also says: "... nor is an obtained benefit". That further narrows the focus. The "advantage" *is* specifically the benefit.

Sense 3 ("benefit resulting from some event or action", synonym: "reward") seems the most accurate. The players *gained* a benefit or reward as a *result* of their action. The phrase "turned out to my advantage" aligns better with sense 3 than with an abstract sense 1, and so sense 3 is my selection.

**Analyzing "Fact" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "fact" within the phrase "the fact that" in the text, specifically, "The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase..." I need to determine the most appropriate sense of "fact" here. Immediately, I'm thinking this usage introduces a clause referring to a known circumstance or event.

Let's quickly review the candidate senses: information about existing circumstances (fact%1:09:01), a verified statement (fact%1:10:01), a known event (fact%1:26:01), or a provable concept (fact%1:09:02). Hmm, "in the fact that" usually leans toward sense 1, "a piece of information about circumstances that exist," or sense 3, "an event known to have happened."

Looking closely at WordNet, the examples provided for sense 1, such as "first you must collect all the facts of the case," feel relevant. The phrase "consists in the fact that..." seems to clearly fit "a piece of information about circumstances that exist" (sense 1).

I'm considering whether there's another suitable sense, but my analysis suggests sense 1 is the most likely. "The fact that the players will begin the following phase without cards" *is* a piece of information about the current circumstances. Sense 3, "an event known to have happened," feels more suited to usages like "based on the fact" or "fact and fiction".

Now, I'm going back to WordNet. Sense 1 is clear in 3.0: fact%1:09:01:: (information), and sense 3 is an event (fact%1:26:01). I also recall that "the fact that" is very often mapped to sense 1 (information). I'm also confirming what is mapped in SemCor for "the fact that". Yes, SemCor would probably map to sense 1.

The definition of sense 1 is key: "a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred." The context, "The advantage... consists in the fact [circumstance] that...", fits perfectly. While WordNet doesn't explicitly have a "circumstance" sense, it does contain "information about circumstances". "The fact that" essentially translates to "the information that". Therefore, I'm settling on sense 1.

**Analyzing "Players" in a Football Context**

Alright, the word in focus is "players," and the specific scenario is Real Madrid football (soccer). Immediately, my mind hones in on the core definition: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game." Seems incredibly straightforward, but that's what makes it appropriate. In this context, the primary sense of "players" is perfectly fitting. There's no need to consider alternative interpretations here, as the reference to a game such as a championship or match, makes the common definition more than appropriate. I would use this to proceed without any further need for clarification.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Phase"**

Okay, so the target word is "phase," and it's appearing as "phase" in the text. Let's see... the context is about a championship. "The players will begin the following phase of the Championship..." My initial thought is it's probably not a chemical phase (sense 2), nor an astronomical one (sense 4), and certainly not a cycle phase (sense 3). Those are obvious exclusions given the context.

That leaves us with the most likely: "any distinct time period in a sequence of events," or as the synonyms put it, a "stage." Considering it is a Championship it is a pretty obvious fit. The sentence describes a stage of a Championship. Bingo. Sense 1 is the clear winner here, it is a straightforward application of the word in a temporal, sequential context, exactly how it's used within this tournament's progression. Perfect.

**Analyzing "Championship" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "Championship," and I need to figure out the right meaning here. The surrounding text gives some helpful clues. It talks about "the following phase of the Championship," players being suspended due to card accumulation, and "a sanction game." Clearly, this is all related to a sports context. The phrasing strongly suggests a multi-stage tournament, where players can get penalized for foul play.

Let's look at the candidate senses. "The status of being a champion" (sense 1) is a possibility, but the surrounding details seem to point to something more active. "The act of providing approval and support" (sense 3) is definitely a non-starter; it doesn't fit the mechanics of a sporting competition.

Given the talk of a "following phase" and cards potentially impacting a player's participation in a future game, the only logical conclusion is that sense 2, "a competition at which a champion is chosen," is the correct interpretation. The text describes a system within a tournament, so it's most likely referring to the entire championship or a phase within it.

Okay, the target word is "participation," and the context is "...threaten their participation in a future game." My initial thought is to quickly disambiguate between the two main senses. Sense 1 is about "sharing in the activities of a group" – engagement, involvement. Sense 2 leans toward "sharing in common with others," like fellowship or partnership.

The phrase "participation in a future game" clearly suggests the act of *playing*, of *joining* the team's activities. That immediately points me toward Sense 1, the active involvement, the engagement in the game itself. Sense 2, with its focus on a shared condition, feels less relevant here. It's not about a shared *state* but the *act* of participating.

Let's do a quick mental check with the phrase itself: "participation in a future game." The players are actively *involved* in the game. It's about engagement, specifically. I can almost picture it: the players' involvement, their involution in the play, the shared activity. Sense 1 is the most fitting. Yes, that's definitely the best fit.

Target lemma: game
Target surface form: game
Context:
However, the paradoxical thing about the action of the players of Real Madrid is that it did not comply to what we normally characterize as legal fraud, because the violation of the rules was not made secretly as to try to avoid the sanction, but their action was most evident and thus they received punishment from the referee. They waited for and accepted the sanction with no complaints. Another question is what type of advantage the violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out. Here it seems necessary to state that it isn't a disadvantageous situation for rival nor is an obtained benefit in the same game, because evidently the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players. And neither is it a useful strategy for the next game, because the club will not be able to count on those players. The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future <t>game</t>. But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Game" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "game," specifically in the phrase "threaten their participation in a future game." The context is clearly a soccer match involving Real Madrid. We're dealing with a sports context, which narrows things down considerably.

My initial candidates for the sense of "game" are:

1.  *game%1:04:00::* – "a contest with rules to determine a winner"
2.  *game%1:04:03::* – "a single play of a sport or other contest"

In this sports scenario, "a game" typically refers to a single match. Thinking about examples like "the next game," or "the same game," or the current phrase "a future game" leads me to lean towards sense 2, where "a game" is specifically referring to an individual match.

Now let's really confirm the choice. Considering the definitions, sense 2's description, "a single play of a sport or other contest," really fits the structure. The example, "the game lasted two hours," is very similar to my own. Whereas sense 1, "a contest with rules to determine a winner," has an example: "you need four people to play this game." I am thinking a specific match is sense 2.

Sense 2 is the better fit.

**Deconstructing "Term" in "Long Term Advantage"**

Okay, so the target here is the word "term" in the phrase "a long term advantage." My initial thought is that "long term" implies a lengthy duration, a significant stretch of time. But hold on, the *phrase* is "long term," so the word "term" itself must be the central piece of the puzzle. I need to make sure I am taking "term" in its correct context. It could mean "a limited period of time." Let me see... yes, sense number two could be the best fit. I've got it, sense two: a defined period of time—like a prison *term* or the school *term*. I need to determine if that sense can apply to the phrase "long term". Bingo! "Long term" does, in fact, relate to a period of time. Now I'll generate candidates to be sure:

Candidate 1, that doesn't fit. It doesn't relate to time.
Candidate 2, yes! A limited period of time. That's a strong contender.
Candidate 3, Nope, that's not it. It doesn't relate to time.
Candidate 4, This is the wrong path.
Candidate 5, Logic is a cool topic, but not the answer.
Candidate 6, Not relevant to this phrase.
Candidate 7, Architecture is definitely not it.

So, sense two is the winner. It's the only one that truly aligns with the temporal aspect of "long term."

**Analyzing the "Advantage" in Tactical Fouls**

Okay, so we're dissecting whether getting a yellow card strategically to clear your record constitutes an "advantage." The text focuses on the "benefit resulting from some event or action" – in this case, the action being the yellow card. My initial instinct, given my expertise, is to immediately consider all the nuances of this framing. The text's argument is this: it's not simply an immediate, in-game advantage; it's a *long-term* benefit.

The key sentence that really resonates here is "what type of advantage the violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out." It's directly linking the *advantage* to the *action*.  And the text is at pains to point out that it's not a disadvantage for the opponent *during* the current game, nor a benefit obtained *during* the current game. That definitively steers me toward Sense 3, the reward or benefit obtained because of the deliberate action.

We're not talking about a superior position within the current match (Sense 1), and there's no way we're considering tennis (Sense 2) here. So the crux is whether it's the quality of a superior position or a benefit. Considering the text's emphasis on the act being *deliberate* and the resulting *benefit* to the player/team in the next phase, the "benefit resulting from some event or action" definition clearly is the correct lens to apply.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Degree"**

Okay, so I'm looking at "degree" in the context of "with a certain degree of indetermination." My initial thought is to distinguish between the two likely senses: first, a position on a scale of intensity (like a moderate *grade* of intelligence), and second, a specific identifiable position in a continuum or process (think "a remarkable *degree* of frankness").

Hmm, "a certain degree of indetermination" – that sounds a lot like "a remarkable degree of frankness," which, from my experience, would lean toward Sense 2. But, is frankness truly a *process*? The definition mentions continuum, series, or process. I see the overlap, but I need to be precise.

Let me revisit the definitions to solidify this. Sense 1 gives "grade, level" while Sense 2 offers "level, stage, point" as synonyms, along with the example of frankness. "A certain degree of" seems a classic collocation for *either* sense. I should consult WordNet to confirm my thoughts.

WordNet confirms the two senses of "degree" and provides the same examples I considered: a *grade* versus a *level*. So, "a remarkable degree of frankness" definitely falls under Sense 2. Therefore, "a certain degree of indetermination" probably falls under Sense 2 as well. The key is in that example, and the abstract nature of indetermination is key. It's a "point" or "level" rather than an "intensity" that would fall under sense 1.

Okay, let me check the sense keys.
degree%1:07:00:: = degree 1.
degree%1:26:01:: = degree 2.

Yes, "a remarkable degree of frankness" is under `degree%1:26:01::`. "indetermination" is an abstract noun, similar to "frankness", so I'll go with Sense 2 here.

To be extra certain, I need to look at both again. Sense 1 is "grade, level," for example, *a moderate grade of intelligence.* Sense 2 is "level, stage, point", such as *a remarkable degree of frankness.* So yes, "a certain degree of [abstract noun]" usually indicates Sense 2. I'm going with Sense 2, and the matter is settled.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Team"**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "team," and the surrounding context is giving us some pretty clear indicators. We're talking about players, a championship, games, and even things like yellow and red cards. The sports imagery is pretty heavy.

Now, I've got two candidate meanings in mind. The first is what I'd expect – a cooperative unit, especially in sports, essentially a "squad." The second option conjures images of draft animals, which is just completely off the mark based on what I'm reading.

Given the sports-centric context, sense index number one is the obvious winner. There's no ambiguity here; this "team" refers to an athletic grouping, not a pair of oxen. The definition of a *cooperative unit* is the most suitable, given this context. Easy decision.

**Analyzing "First of Change"**

Okay, the target is "change," the surface form is "change," and the context is that awkward phrase: "...first of change..." Hmm, "first of change" is screaming translation idiom. It's a dead giveaway. Immediately, I think "a la primera de cambio" in Spanish – it means "at the first opportunity" or "immediately." Bingo! This has to be a literal translation.

So, the literal translation of "a la primera de cambio" is "at the first change." Now, how does *change* fit into that? Which sense is relevant here? This feels like it might be pulled from SemCor or a similar parallel corpus.

"A la primera de cambio" is literally translated as "at the first change (of circumstance)." So, is it Sense 1, "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another?" Or maybe Sense 4, the result of alteration? Let's go back to "first of change" and break it down.

Thinking about "first of change" as "at the first chance" or "first change" – focusing on the event itself. And I'm looking at the senses of change in front of me: Sense 1 is "change%1:11:00:: event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another," Sense 2 is relational difference, and Sense 3 is the action of changing something.

Wait. If it's "a la primera de cambio," the word "cambio" means *change*. Translating to "first of change," it clearly maps to the primary sense of change, an event...

Yep, Sense 1 seems the most appropriate here, the general event of change.

Looking at "first of change" again, it's not perfect English, but "change" in that context definitely implies a shift, a change in circumstances or state.

Yeah, Sense 1: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another" is the winner. Let's go with that.

**Analyzing the Concept of "Action" in This Context**

Okay, so the word I need to nail down here is "action." The sentence that really focuses my attention is "in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards." It's pretty clear this "action" is something the players *do* – a deliberate act, a choice they make during this game, perhaps even something that goes against the rules. The phrasing "violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out" confirms that this is about a purposeful behavior in this game. And the mention of "the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players" further reinforces that it is a specific deed with a consequence.

Given the context, I immediately start running through the senses of "action." Let's see... we've got "something done," the "state of being active," "military engagement," "natural process," "plot events," being "active as a trait", "operating part", "legal action", "act by a government body", and finally, "most important/interesting work."

Taking a look at these, "something done" (sense_key=action%1:04:02::) feels like the most accurate fit. It hits the right spot. It directly reflects the players performing a specific deed or act within the context of the game. The other senses just don't have that direct relationship to a specific, performed act that leads to a consequence. This is not about being generally active or a military operation, this is about a very specific and deliberate choice within the confines of the game.

**Disambiguating "Players" in a Sports Context**

Okay, so the word we're working with is "players," and the surrounding terms – "game," "team," "club," "Championship," "cards," "sanction game," and "suspension" – immediately point us toward the realm of sports. My initial task is to pin down the *specific* sense of "player" we're dealing with. Let's see...

I've got a few options popping into my mind. First, and most obvious, is the individual who participates in the game, the skilled participant – the athlete, if you will. The synonyms "participant" and "competitor" quickly come to mind here. Then, let's consider the less relevant: a musician, theatrical performer, someone who has multiple partners, or someone important in business. Clearly, those are red herrings in this context.

Given the presence of terms like "cards" (referring to yellow/red cards in football/soccer) and "Championship," we're dealing with a specific sports game, very likely a football/soccer game. This robustly confirms that the correct sense of "player" is the first one: the person actively engaged in the sport.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Game" in the Context of Tactical Fouls**

Okay, so I'm diving into this concept of players strategically incurring yellow or red cards – what's being referred to as "the players fulfill a sanction game." Right away, that phrase jumps out. "Sanction game"... that's essentially a one-game suspension, a *partido de sanción* in Spanish, right? The key word here is "game."

My immediate task is to nail down the precise meaning of "game" in this context. Let's see... looking at the possible senses, I see "a contest with rules to determine a winner," and then "a single play of a sport or other contest." Hmmm... "a sanction game" clearly isn't referring to the general *type* of contest. It has to be referring to a *specific* match, a single *instance*.

So, sense 2, "a single play of a sport or other contest," seems most relevant. We're talking about a specific instance, a match where the sanction is served. "The next game," "a future game," "a sanction game"... all pointing to a single *match*.

Just to be absolutely sure, let's revisit both senses. Sense 1 is about the overall category of contest – "baseball is a game." Sense 2, however, is about the individual *event* – "the game lasted two hours." It's clear that in the phrase "a sanction game," we're dealing with the latter. It's the suspension served during a *match*. Therefore, sense 2 is the most appropriate.

**Analyzing "Suspension" in the Context of Sports Sanctions**

Okay, the target word is "suspension," and the context revolves around sports sanctions, specifically yellow card accumulation. My initial thought process immediately gravitates toward the concept of a player being barred from participating in a future game due to accumulating penalties. That's a clear trigger.

Now, let's sift through the potential senses. While I initially considered possibilities like a mixture, a time interval, or even the mechanical sense, those feel like red herrings in this particular context. Temporary cessation and interruption are closer, but still don't quite capture the core idea of being barred from something. The "act of hanging" is clearly irrelevant here.

Ultimately, Sense 7, "a temporary debarment (from a privilege or position etc)," feels like the perfect fit. This sense directly addresses the core meaning of a player being suspended from a match. The "privilege or position" is the ability to play, and the debarment is the penalty resulting from card accumulation. It's a clean and concise mapping of the term to its intended meaning in this domain. Excellent.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Card Accumulation"**

Okay, so the target is "accumulation" in the context of soccer/football and suspensions. It's in the phrase "the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle." I need to pinpoint the exact sense of "accumulation" here.

First, I looked at the potential senses: an increase by natural growth (accretion), several things grouped together (collection/aggregation), the act of accumulating (accrual/accruement), and profits (finance - definitely not this one).

The initial thought was that "card accumulation" refers to the *act* of gathering cards, making suspension happen. So, senses 2 (collection) and 3 (the act of accumulating) were the main contenders. Given the context, it's about a *process*.

I considered: "suspension due to the act of accumulating cards" vs. "suspension due to a collection of cards". The "X accumulation" construction usually indicates the act of gathering X. The phrasing strongly suggests the *process* of accumulating. I checked if it could mean "the collection of cards" but "act of accumulating cards" seems better.

I did a direct comparison between sense 1 (increase by growth) and sense 3 (the act of accumulating). "Card accumulation" means accruing cards over time, which firmly places it in the "act" category. "Accrual" is very close in meaning.

So, suspension by "the act of accumulating cards" works better.

I double-checked the exact phrase: "suspension by card accumulation." Sense 3, "the act of accumulating," seems the most precise fit. It captures the action of gathering cards that leads to suspension.

I'm confident in settling on sense 3.

**Analyzing "Rounds" in a Sports Context**

Okay, so we're looking at "rounds" in the context of a sports championship, where players are strategically trying to avoid accumulating cards. This clearly relates to *passing rounds* or stages of the competition, and the question is, how best to index that. Let's dig in.

The initial thought is that "rounds" might be equivalent to a "turn" or "bout" as it is written. WordNet sense 7, "a division during which one team is on the offensive," initially seems interesting, but that definition, with "turn, bout" as synonyms, strikes me more as an individual play or a boxing round rather than an entire stage of a tournament.

The other senses come into play. Is it a *recurring sequence of events* (sense 2), some other kind of turn? I'm quickly dismissing options like "ammunition" or "golf."

The text mentions "passing rounds," which *clearly* indicates progressing through the phases of the championship. And it seems that even though a dedicated sense for "stage of a tournament" isn't explicitly available, sense 7 comes closest to a division within the event. I consider "cycle," as mentioned in "second cycle of cards", which I do, but no, the "passing rounds" phrase strongly implies moving through different segments of the tournament.

So I cycle back to sense 7: "(sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive (turn, bout)." Even though the definition is narrower than ideal, it's the most sport-specific sense, so even though there is a nuance, it is the best match. This is really about defining "rondas" in Spanish. Ultimately, it is sports, that is what is intended. So, the best choice is 7.

**Analyzing "Advantage" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "advantage," and the sentence is, "So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage." The core issue is whether deliberately getting suspended to clear cards constitutes an *advantage* – basically, is it a legitimate benefit or a form of reward? I need to pick the best definition of "advantage."

I considered two main candidates. First, "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position" (vantage). Second, "a benefit resulting from some event or action" (reward). The surrounding text, with phrases like "long term advantage," "advantage... consists in the fact that...", "obtained benefit," and "taking advantages," provided crucial clues.

Initially, I leaned towards the third sense: "benefit resulting from some event or action." It clicked because the scenario is about *obtaining* a benefit or reward through a specific action – getting the suspension. I thought, "What type of advantage did the violators obtain?" The answer is clearly a *benefit*. The action (getting suspended) leads to a benefit.

Now, let me make sure I'm not being hasty. Let's briefly revisit the first sense: "quality of having a superior or more favorable position." That's not a terrible fit, but it's not the best. The example "experience gave him the advantage over me" illustrates this positional advantage. In our context, however, "it is not so clear that it is an advantage" – here, we are questioning whether the action has resulted in a clear *benefit*.

The third sense, "benefit resulting from some action," resonates much more strongly. "It turned out to my advantage," "reaping the rewards" – these phrases share the idea of an outcome, and a positive one, being the focus. The action here, is the suspension, and the reward is the advantage from clearing the cards.

Therefore, I'm confident that the "benefit resulting from some event or action" definition is the most accurate fit here. It's the "reward" that the players are aiming for, albeit perhaps a strategically questionable one. I'm going with candidate 3.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Actions" in a Sporting Context**

Okay, so the target word is "actions," and the context is definitely about sports players deliberately incurring penalties, presumably yellow or red cards, to manipulate suspension timing. My initial reaction is that it's against the spirit of the game – a deliberate act of unsportsmanlike conduct.

Let me break down the senses to pinpoint the best fit. Sense 1, "something done (usually as opposed to something said)," is spot-on. What these players are doing, intentionally picking up a card, *is* an action in the most straightforward sense. They're deliberately performing a deed. The other definitions, such as activity, military engagement, or plot events, just don't feel relevant here. The legal sense is somewhat there, in the sense that they are violating a rule, but not the primary focus. I think we can rule them out based on relevance. Therefore, my assessment is that Sense 1 is the appropriate definition to focus on in this context. It's a clear, concise match for the behavior being described.
