wonder if such micro dictionary should hovever be called enom
it is dictionary but micro

dict T1 'a' = 0x8989 , 'b' = 0x2989 , 'c' = 0x8289 ,t T1 'd' = 0x8933, 
'e' = 0x89d9, 'f' = 0x898d;, 'b':1 = 0xffff

ads few entries to micro dictionary named T1

then T1('a') would yeild to 0x8989

then T1('b') would eventually yeild to {0x2989,  0xffff }
