# wordnet.hyponym()

## Syntax

    hyponym(query)

## Description

Returns the implementation of query. This can usually be considered as an "example" of the given query. The returned value is a list of elements which are themselves a list of related synonyms. For a more extensive search of hyponyms, use the hyponyms() command.

## Example

    wordnet = ximport("wordnet")
    print wordnet.hyponym("train")
    >>>[['boat train'], ['car train'], ['freight train', 'rattler'],
    >>> ['hospital train'], ['mail train'], ['passenger train'],
    >>> ['streamliner'], ['subway train']]

You can walk through a list of lists as follows:

    for implementation in wordnet.hyponym("train"):
      for synonym in implementation:
        print synonym

    >>>boat train
    >>>car train
    >>>freight train
    >>>rattler
    >>>hospital train
    >>>mail train
    >>>passenger train
    >>>streamliner
    >>>subway train
