| The compound is generally regarded as being compatible with rather than hyponymous to its first constituent. |
| The hyponymous relation or inclusion expresses the relation between a term with a more specific meaning and a term with a more general meaning. |
| It is often very revealing, therefore, to analyse the different hyponymous relationships in different languages. |
| The hyponymous processes deal with the tasks of identification, verification and differentiation. |
| We might say, for instance, that the word koala stands in a particular relation to the word marsupial, on the grounds that the default construal of koala is hyponymous to the default construal of marsupial. |
