RANDOM SUBGROUP PROPERTY: 2-subnormal subgroup: A normal subgroup of a normal subgroup. Need not be normal, because normality is not transitive.

Definition
Definition with symbols
A normal subgroup N of a group G is termed Frattini-embedded or Frattini-imbedded if for every proper subgroup H of G,
. When G is a finite group, or more generally, when every proper subgroup of G is contained in a maximal subgroup, then this condition is equivalent to saying that N is contained in the Frattini subgroup of G.
Effect of property operators
Left transiter
Any characteristic subgroup of a Frattini-embedded normal subgroup is Frattini-embedded normal. It's not clear whether characteristicity is precisely the left transiter of the property of being Frattini-embedded normal.
