The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


*1(*(x, y), z) → *1(y, z)
*1(*(x, y), z) → *1(x, *(y, z))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
none
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
*1(x1, x2)  =  *1(x1)
*(x1, x2)  =  *(x1, x2)

Lexicographic path order with status [19].

*^11: [1]
*2: [2,1]
