    The proof is difficult to follow but marks a turning point in the word problem for groups. [3]: 342 1955 (): Pyotr Novikov gives the first published proof that the word problem for groups is unsolvable, using Turing's cancellation semigroup result. [17] [3]: 354 The proof contains a "Principal Lemma" equivalent to Britton's Lemma.

    The term measure word is also sometimes used to refer to numeral classifiers, which are used with count nouns in some languages. For instance, in English no extra word is needed when saying "three people", but in many East Asian languages a numeral classifier is added, just as a measure word is added for uncountable nouns in English. For example:
