1. A method of enabling input into a handheld electronic device, the handheld electronic device including an input apparatus, an output apparatus, and a processor apparatus, the input apparatus including a number of input members, the number of input members including a selection input member and a number of linguistic input members, the selection input member being adapted to input a selection input upon being actuated, each linguistic input member of at least a portion of the number of linguistic input members having a plurality of linguistic elements assigned thereto, the processor apparatus including a processor and a memory, the memory storing a plurality of word objects each corresponding to one of a plurality of stored words, the output apparatus including a display, the method comprising: detecting an input comprising a number of actuations of a number of the linguistic input members, at least some of which each having a plurality of linguistic elements assigned thereto and, responsive to each said actuation, displaying at a first location on the display a disambiguation of the input and at a second location on the display a plurality of outputs, at least one of the plurality of outputs comprising the disambiguation, 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 input, and wherein the orphan prefix is different from the first k characters in each of the plurality of stored words; detecting a number of actuations of the selection input member; and responsive to each said actuation of the selection input member, replacing the output at the first location on the display with another output of the plurality of outputs.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, after displaying the orphan prefix at the first location, detecting a next input comprising actuation of a next input member of the linguistic input members, locking the orphan prefix, and displaying at the second location a plurality of next outputs, each of the plurality of next outputs starting with the orphan prefix.
