Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter II, § 2. Free Lie algebras

Suppose that XX has two elements x,yx, y; let XX be ordered such that x<yx < y. The construction given in the proof of Proposition 11 gives a set HH with 14 elements of length ≤5\leq 5 given in the following table:

H1w1=xH2w3=(xy)H3w4=(x(xy))w5=(y(xy))H4w6=(x(x(xy))))w7=(y(x(xy))))w8=(y(y(xy))))H5w9=(x(x(x(xy))))w10=(y(x(x(xy))))w11=(y(y(x(xy)))))w12=(y(y(y(xy))))w13=((xy)(x(xy)))w14=((xy)(y(xy))). \begin{array}{cccc} H_1 & w_1 = x \\ H_2 & w_3 = (xy) \\ H_3 & w_4 = (x(xy)) & w_5 = (y(xy)) \\ H_4 & w_6 = (x(x(xy)))) & w_7 = (y(x(xy)))) & w_8 = (y(y(xy)))) \\ H_5 & w_9 = (x(x(x(xy)))) & w_{10} = (y(x(x(xy)))) & w_{11} = (y(y(x(xy))))) \\ & w_{12} = (y(y(y(xy)))) & w_{13} = ((xy)(x(xy))) & w_{14} = ((xy)(y(xy))). \end{array}

(The elements of HH have been numbered according to the total ordering chosen on each HnH_n.)

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
