subcomponent.
intshé–, pre. Subset; subunit; subcomponent. Similar to sub- in English, but cannot be used for describing subordinates (for that, use ven-). Use this for describing complete subsets, such as a branch in a tree or subcommittee. While the subset does not need to have structure or even have more than one member, if it does, it cannot be an arbitrary subset; it must be a complete branch with no subsections of its own removed. The board of directors in a company thus does not qualify as an intshévimítru, but a subcommittee of that same council does qualify as an intshé- of the council itself.
