β¦ Synopsis
In this paper we study the combinatorial structure of the Hawaiian earring group, by showing that it can be represented as a group of transfinite words on a countably infinite alphabet exactly analogously to the representation of a finite rank free group as finite words on a finite alphabet. We define a big free group similarly as the group of transfinite words on given set, and study their group theoretic structure.

In this second paper in a series of three we generalize the notions of fundamental group and Hawaiian earring. In the first paper we generalized the notion of free group to that of a big free group. In the current article we generalize the notion of fundamental group by defining the big fundamental
