Hey ... even a "word" was kinda undefined for awhile. Remember octal ?
12-bit "words" ? :-)
You're just being silly.
The word size in the PDP-5/PDP-8 is 12 bits. There's no need for scare
quotes around the word "word". The addressable memory unit in that
architecture is the word, so 4096KW is 49,152 bits, with addresses 0 to
4095 (most often expressed in octal as 0 to 7777).
What "KW" means above?
