Lemma
 7.3.
 Given
 a
 positive
 integer
 n, let G — {g}
 denote
 a finite
 nontrivial
 cyclic
group
 with
 a
 generator
 g € G.
 There
 exists
 an
 arrangement
 a
1
, . . . , a
m
 (m =
 |G|
n
)
 of
the
 elements
 in the nth
 direct
 power
 G
n
 ofG
 such
 that
 for
 every
 i = 1, . . . , m — 1
 there
is
 a j e [I, . . . , n}
 with a,-
+1
 €
 {(gi,
 . . . ,
 g,-_i,
 g/g
-1
,
 gj+i,
 . . . ,
 g,,),
 (gi,
 . . . ,
 g
;
-i,
 g;g,
g
j+
i,
 ...,
 g
n
)}, whenever
 a
i
,
 =
 (gi,
 . . . , g
n
) (e
 G").
Proof.
 If n = 1 ,
 then
 our
 statement
 is
 trivial.
 Now let us
 suppose that
 our
 statement holds
 for
n
 > 1 and let ai, . . . , a
m
 be a
 suitable arrangement
 of G".
 Then

 suitable arrangement
 of
 the
 (n+l)th
 direct

), whenever,
 a,- =
 (gi,
 . . . , g
n
)
 (fc
 =
1,
 . . . ,
 |G|,
 i =
 l,...,
 m). The
 result
 now
 follows
 by
 induction.
Given
 a
 nonvoid
 set Y, a
 positive integer
 w, let 7y
 denote
 the
 full
 transformation
semigroup
 of all
 functions
 from
 Y to Y. In
 addition,
 for
 every subset
 H 7y , let
 (H
 )
 denote
the
 subsemigroup
 of 7y
 generated
 by H.
 Moreover,
 for any finite set X
 with
 |X| > 1 and
positive
 integer
 n > 1 ,
 denote
 by
 Tx,
n
 the
 subsemigroup
 of
 all
 transformations
 of 7x
 having
theformF(jci,...,j:
n
)
 =
 (A:
f

and
 let
where

 (jci,

)
 e

}.
 (It is
 understood that
 the
case
 i = j is
 allowed
 in the
 above definition
 of
 FX»
 .)
 Define
 the
 elementary
 collapsing
tj,
k
 : {1, . . . , n} -+ {1, . . . , n} for 1 < j k < n,
Moreover,
 as
 usual
 we say
 that
 U
jk
 : {1,
 ...,n}->
 {1,...,
 n} for 1 < j k < n is a
transposition
 if
where
 (x\,,..,
 *„) e X
n
 similarly
 as in the
 previous lemma.
In the
 following,
 we
 shall
 identify
 X in a fixed but
 arbitrary
 way
 with
 the
 group
 of
residue classes
 of
 integers modulo
 q =
 \X\.
Now
 we are
 ready
 to
 prove
 the
 following
 key
 lemma.
Lemma
 7.4.
 For any fixed t e
 {!,...,n},
 Tx
n
 is
 generated
 by the
 union
 of
{{r<°>,
 Te

 | k =
 1,...,4}}
 and the set
 of
 all
 Junctions
 F : X

 having
 the
form
 F(XI,
