Presentation has sum-of-sides 8
Infinite non-cancellative non-commutative monoid
Not left cancellative, because left multiplication by
a
is not injective:
a
⋅
a
(
ba
)
2
=
ab
and
a
⋅
b
=
ab
, however
a

Lowercase letters stand for generators.
Spaces are ignored.
Numbers repeat the previous letter, e.g.
