Meerletterige

Meerletterige is a term used in linguistics to describe words that are composed of multiple letters. This might seem like a redundant concept, as most words in any language are made up of letters. However, the term specifically distinguishes these words from single-letter words or elements that might function similarly to words but are not traditionally spelled out. In many languages, single-letter words exist, such as "a" or "I" in English. The term "meerletterige" therefore emphasizes the multi-character nature of a word. It is not a widely used technical term in mainstream linguistics but might appear in specific linguistic analyses or discussions focusing on the structural components of words. The concept is straightforward and refers to the most common form of word construction.
