public StemMultiIndex(StemMultiIndex w,
                      int newNameIndex)
```
    Given a stem wrapper where a stem reference has been found at newNameIndex, make a new object suitable for handing to a stem variable for resolution. The original index, w, should have its realLength adjusted accordingly
    
    Parameters:
    
    w -
    
    newNameIndex -
  - StemMultiIndex
```
public StemMultiIndex(String variable)
```
    Creates a new instance from the variable. Note that the name is the entire stem name, so a.i.j... and this parses it into components. The very first component is always the name of the stem.
    
    Parameters:
    
    variable -
  - StemMultiIndex
```
protected StemMultiIndex()
```
- Method Detail
  - isEmpty
```
public boolean isEmpty()
```
    So no indices.
    
    Returns:
  - getRealLength
```
public int getRealLength()
```
  - setRealLength
```
public void setRealLength(int realLength)
```
  - getComponents
```
public List<String> getComponents()
```
  - getLastComponent
```
public String getLastComponent()
```
  - getName
```
public String getName()
```
  - isStem
```
public boolean isStem()
```
  - truncate
```
public StemMultiIndex truncate()
```
    Returns a new Stem that is adjusted to the realLength
    
    Returns:
