2. A person associated with another, usually in a subordinate position; a colleague.

7. (syntax, X-bar theory) A constituent which is both the daughter and the sister of an X-bar.

   • We can see from (34) that Determiners are sisters of N-bar and daughters of
     N-double-bar; Adjuncts are both sisters and daughters of N-bar; and Comple-
     ments are sisters of N and daughters of N-bar. This means that Adjuncts re-
     semble Complements in that both are daughters of N-bar; but they differ from
     Complements in that Adjuncts are sisters of N-bar, whereas Complements are
     sisters of N. Likewise, it means that Adjuncts resemble Determiners in that
     both are sisters of N-bar, but they differ from Determiners in that Adjuncts
     are daughters of N-bar, whereas Determiners are daughters of N-double-bar.

8. (rhetoric) Symploce.
9. (category theory) One of a pair of morphisms which relate to each other through a pair of adjoint functors.
