(n)
label
A fillet resembling a barrulet with three or more pendent drops or points, which were originally straight with parallel sides, but are now usually shaped like a dovetail. It is used as a bearing, but especially as a difference, as in cadency, to indicate the oldest son. Some authorities say that the label when used for cadency should have seven points while the great-grandfather of the bearer is alive, five while his grandfather is alive, and three while the father lives. In nearly all cases the label, whether a bearing or a difference, has an odd number of points. These points are also called lambeaux. In a very few cases the label is borne bendwise. A label of three (or more) points, crossed has, instead of the ordinary lambeaux, small crosses pointing downward, which may be Latin crosses reversed or Greek crosses. A label of three (or more) pomegranates pendent has, instead of lambeaux, rounded fruit represented as burst open. A label of three (or more) tags pendent has, instead of lambeaux, strips intended to represent the parchment ribbons to which seals are affixed in ancient documents. A label with the points crect, or a label reversed, is seldom used by itself, but in connection with an ordinary label, in which case the blazon is a label counterposed with another, the points erect, or two labels indorsed, or more rarely bars-gemel patté. See lambeau Also called file and lambel. -

Random incidence matrices: moments of the spectral density
Indeed, two distinct labelings have to describe a non-trivial automorphism of G because W determines completely a labeled graph isomorphic to G.
Random incidence matrices: moments of the spectral density
Recall that W induces a walk covering T , hence a labeling of T (vertices are labeled in order of their appearance in the walk).

Must surely mean the soul's release
From this small labeled entity —
This passing limitation — Me!
Everywhere so plenty, yet so little mine—
Doubtless they are angels wrongly labelled,
Angels made in other spheres to shine.
Of time and space—art heir of all things grown;
And not my name, poor, earthly label-word,
But I myself thenceforward am thine own.
An angry man upon the street —
A man of wrath, a man of war,
A man who truculently bore
Over his shoulder, like a lance,
A banner labeled “Tolerance.”
That telleth me whereto I must;
I see the sentence eke that saith
Remember, man, that thou art dust!
But yet, alas, but seldom I
Do think indeed that I must die.
What matters our label, so truth be our aim?
The creed may be wrong, but the life may be true,
And hearts beat the same under drab coats or blue.
