Lemma
In mathematics, a lemma is the proof of a minor claim to be made in the proof of a major result. Lemma itself is also a theorem. See theorem for more.
In linguistics, and particularly in morphology, lemma refers to the canonical form of the word. This is important mainly in the highly flexible languages[?], such as Czech.
