<span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>1</sub></span> is the formatted address for something - (with format) starting with <span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>2</sub></span>, which is an address/locality/administrative subunit/region which belongs to slightly broader address/locality/administrative subunit/region <span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>3</sub></span>, which in turn itself belongs to a slightly broader address/locality/administrative subunit/region <span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>4</sub></span>, <span class="MATH">...</span> (etc.).

==== notes ====

Arbitrarily many sumti slots; open-ended superclass/superset structure. It is not implied that <span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>(n+1)</sub></span> is the minimal proper superset of <span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>n</sub></span> for any integer <span class="MATH"><i>n</i> &gt; 1</span> (even if they are indeed a proper-superset/proper-subset pair); for example, <span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>2</sub></span> may be a street number, <span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>2</sub></span> may be a city, and <span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>3</sub></span> may be a state, even though wards may subdivide cities (but contain street subsegments) and counties may subdivide states (and contain cities). Each subsequent sumti contains or possesses the previous one(s), except the first, as a node or location (or subunit) and is only slightly larger/broader than it/them. There is no fixed meaning to any given slot; they just collectively possess this 'zooming-out' property. For example: In "Cupboard under the stairs, 4, Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, England, UK, northern hemisphere, Earth", each term separated by commas would be its own separate sumti (and we could continue to widen the scope beyond Earth); note that "4" is a name and identifies a house. Postal codes or ZIP codes should be used with caution in this word - they must be inserted in the correct spot; for example, (in the U.S.) a standard ZIP code identifies (approximately) the administering post office or municipal region and, therefore, must come after a street name but usually before the city name; ZIP+4 usually identifies a subdivision of the city or service area for the local post office, so it would come after the street name but before the city name and the standard ZIP code; ZIP+4+2 is usually enough to identify a building, so it would precede the street name (but may follow the apartment number in some cases); going the other way: the first few digits identify the region of the country or type of high-level administrative subunit of the U.S. and would come somewhere after the state name or similar. Containment is not assumed to be proper, so consecutive sumti may be equivalent (for example ZIP+4+2 can be equivalent to the house/building identifier and street address, but may be strictly contain the apartment identifier). Delete <span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>1</sub></span> in order to talk of things like "Chesterfield, New Hampshire" (tcaudu<span class="MATH"><sub>2</sub></span> = Chesterfield, tcaudu<span class="MATH"><sub>3</sub></span> = New Hampshire); in this case, since the terbri structure of this word (after tcaudu<span class="MATH"><sub>1</sub></span>) is constant/symmetric wrt shift in sumti slot (indexing), it may be cleanest and most elegant to begin the bridi with the selbri. Any number of consecutive unfilled sumti slots (after tcaudu<span class="MATH"><sub>1</sub></span>) is technically equivalent but may be used informally in order to show that the utterer has a well-defined or standard sequence of nested classes which subdivide the subsequent sumti and which contain the previous ones. Deleting any finite number of sumti slots after the first has no nontrivial effect. This word might be generalizable to other nested structures or graphs such as information in a file (example: cell coordinates, tab name, Excel file name, directory to which the file directly belongs, next superdirectory thereof, ..., stem directory) or members in a family tree (example: full name of person, branch of family, larger family name, ..., all of humanity, ..., all of Earth life).
