Streszczenie
We give a homotopy classification of nanophrases with at most four letters. It is an extension of the classification of nanophrases of length 2 with at most four letters, given by the author in a previous paper. As a corollary, we give a stable classification of ordered, pointed, oriented multi-component curves on surfaces with minimal crossing number less than or equal to 2 such that any equivalent curve has no simply closed curves in its components.
