13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising displaying at a second location on the display a disambiguation of the ambiguous input, wherein the disambiguation is one of the plurality of outputs displayed at the first location.
10. A method of disambiguating an ambiguous input into a handheld electronic device, the handheld electronic device including an input apparatus,. a plurality of linguistic input members, an output apparatus including a display, and a memory storing a plurality of language objects and a plurality of frequency objects, each of at least a portion of the language objects of the plurality of language objects being associated with an associated frequency object of the plurality of frequency objects, the plurality of language objects including a plurality of word objects each corresponding to one of a plurality of stored words and a plurality of N-gram objects, each N-gram object of the plurality of N-gram objects including at least a first linguistic element, the input apparatus including a plurality of input members, each of at least a portion of the input members of the plurality of input members having a plurality of linguistic elements assigned thereto, the method comprising: detecting an ambiguous input including a number of input member actuations of a number of input members, at least one of the input members of the number of input members having a plurality of linguistic elements assigned thereto; responsive to the ambiguous input, generating a number of prefix objects corresponding with the ambiguous input, each prefix object of the number of prefix objects including a number of the linguistic elements of the number of the input members of the ambiguous input; generating a result by, for each prefix object of at least a portion of the number of prefix objects, identifying a word object of the plurality of word objects, the identified word object corresponding with the prefix object, obtaining an associated frequency object of the plurality of frequency objects, the associated frequency object being associated with the identified word object and having a frequency value, and associating the frequency value of the associated frequency object with the prefix object; for at least a portion of the prefix objects of the result, generating an output set of the prefix objects sorted according to the frequency values associated therewith; and determining, based on the ambiguous input, a plurality of outputs, each corresponding to the ambiguous input, and displaying at a first location on the display the plurality of outputs, at least a portion of the plurality of outputs each being a prefix object of the output set and at least one of the plurality of outputs being an orphan prefix which consists of k linguistic elements, k being the quantity of actuations in the ambiguous input, wherein the orphan prefix is different from the first k characters in each of the plurality of stored words and wherein the orphan prefix corresponds to the ambiguous input.
