nybble                      Definition                     nybble




A nybble is four bits, or half of an eight-bit byte.  The term is
generally used  to refer to  the low four  bits or the  high four
bits of  a byte.  Thus, a  byte may be said to  have a ``low nyb-
ble'' and a  ``high nybble''.  One nybble encodes one hexadecimal
digit.
