Entries awaiting definitions

Lemmata is the plural of lemma, a word in its dictionary form—the base entry under which inflected forms are grouped.

Run, runs, ran, and running all share the lemma "run." In logic and mathematics, a lemma is a proven proposition used as a stepping stone to prove a larger theorem.
