Intermediate the form (L, i, j) where L is a grammar position and i and j are extents. Grammar positions for intermediate nodes are of the fo where |↵| >= 2. For example, S ::= aS · b for the rule S ::= aSb. version of SPPF in Figure 1 is shown in Figure 2. Intermediate similar to nonterminal nodes, can be ambiguous, in which case h one packed nodes as children.
