Let n be an integer greater than 1. The group G has the property Q„, or is n-rewritable, if for each «-element subset ﹛x1 x 2… ,x n﹜ of G, there exist permutations such that If one of ᓂ,τ can always be chosen to be the identity, then G has Pn, or is totally n-rewritable. We also use Pn and Qn to denote the classes of groups having these properties. Making use of the obvious inclusions, we define
