We present a method for extracting parts of objects from wholes (e.g. ``speedometer'''' from ``car''''). Given a very large corpus our method finds part words with 55\ ranked by the system. The part list could be scanned by an end-user and added to an existing ontology (such as WordNet), or used as a part of a rough semantic lexicon.
