An intrinsic attribute represents an individual token (word or phrase) that does not have a definition entry in the Parser definitions table.
The following table describes the intrinsic attributes used for patterns. Only the inbound portion of the pattern entry may contain intrinsic attributes. All outbound portions (recode line) must contain only non-intrinsic attribute values or those intrinsic attributes that have been defined in the Customized Definitions table.
