In '''example 1''' the jurisdiction changed names thus a Successor reference is made on the NAR. In '''example 2''' the smaller jurisdiction (city, state, etc.) has not changed its name, what has changed is the cataloger's addition to the name; therefore, one cannot apply RDA 11.2.2.6 but instead RDA 11.3.3.4 is applied. In other words, the name of the city had not changed at the time the larger jurisdiction changed names; thus, the earlier form of the heading is converted into a see reference (note that it is coded "nne" in the subfield $w to denote an earlier authorized form of name). In '''example 3''' the Predecessor reference is made because the name of the smaller jurisdiction has now changed.
