A prefix code is synchronized if and only if it has a synchronizing word.<ref name=BPR138>Berstel et al (2010) p. 138</ref>
 
===Examples===
* The prefix code {''ab'',''ba''} has ''abba'' as a synchronizing word.<ref name=BPR138/>
* The prefix code ''b''<sup>&lowast;</sup>a has ''a'' as a synchronizing word.<ref name=BPR138/>
