Basis conjecture for nonrepeating zigzag words in the algebra T

Fix a nonnegative integer dd, a sequence ({θi}i=0d;{θi}i=0d)(\{\theta_i\}_{i=0}^d;\{\theta^*_i\}_{i=0}^d) of scalars in K\mathbb{K} satisfying the distinctness condition and the stated recurrence condition, and let TT be the corresponding K\mathbb{K}-algebra. A word x1x2xnx_1x_2\cdots x_n in TT is nonrepeating when xi1xi\overline{x}_{i-1}\ne\overline{x}_i for 2in2\leq i\leq n; a nontrivial nonrepeating zigzag word is such a word, other than the trivial words excluded by the source's terminology. Basis conjecture. Each of the following is a basis for the K\mathbb{K}-vector space TT: the nontrivial nonrepeating zigzag words beginning with a nonstarred element; those beginning with a starred element; those ending with a nonstarred element; and those ending with a starred element. This conjectural basis would give an explicit word basis for TT and strengthen the preceding linear-independence assertion; the source gives no resolution of it.
