Part 2 of 4:

Display the coordinates (sisters) of the search string.  This search 
prints the immediate hypernym for each synset that contains the 
search string and the hypernym's immediate `hyponyms'. 

Hypernym is the generic term used to designate a whole class of 
specific instances.  Y is a hypernym of X if X is a (kind of) Y. 

Hyponym is the generic term used to designate a member of a class. 
X is a hyponym of Y if X is a (kind of) Y.  

Coordinate words are words that have the same hypernym.

Hypernym synsets are preceded by "->", and hyponym synsets are 
preceded by "=>".
