the page and press 'Enter'. A network of nodes or 'synsets' will spring out from the
word that you entered. A synset is essentially a single concept that is represented

is a kind of" — hyponym/hypernym pair

With regards to "wheat" and "grain", we see a cyan link from "wheat" pointing towards "grain" we can
understand this to mean that wheat "is a kind of" grain. Here, "wheat" is a hyponym and "grain" is a hypernym.

In the case of verbs this same cyan link can be understood better by "is one way to". So, for example, to trot
"is one way to" walk.
