Words are usually separated by spaces in writing, and are distinguished phonologically, as by accent, in many languages.
• lines — a thickness of glue, as between two veneers in a sheet of plywood.
• libretto — the text or words of an opera or similar extended musical composition.
• stanza — an arrangement of a certain number of lines, usually four or more, sometimes having a fixed length, meter, or rhyme scheme, forming a division of a poem.
• book — A book is a number of pieces of paper, usually with words printed on them, which are fastened together and fixed inside a cover of stronger paper or cardboard. Books contain information, stories, or poetry, for example.
