A word square of order k is a matrix of k× k letters in form that in each row and in each column a word of the dictionary appears and that the same words are read horizontally and vertically. For instance, below some word squares of order three to eight are given:

Write a program that reads a dictionary and prints if various matrices of characters are or are not word squares.

Input

Input has two parts:

  • The first part is a dictionary of n words. First, the value of n is given. Then, n words of the dictionary (all in uppercase letters) come in lexicographical order.

  • The second part is various matrices of characters. Each matrix starts with an integer k that indicates the number of rows and columns and continues with k2 characters (all uppercase letters) arranged in k rows and k columns. The value k=0 indicates the end on the input.

Output

For each matrix of the input, print “YES” if forms a word square using some of the dictionary words and must print “NO” otherwise.

Observation

In private test data is used a dictionary derived from /usr/share/dict/words with four hundred thousand words and a thousand of matrices are tested.
