Verbal not implies commutator-verbal

From Groupprops

This article gives the statement and possibly, proof, of a non-implication relation between two subgroup properties. That is, it states that every subgroup satisfying the first subgroup property (i.e., verbal subgroup) need not satisfy the second subgroup property (i.e., commutator-verbal subgroup)

Statement

it is possible to have a group and a verbal subgroup of that is not a commutator-verbal subgroup of .

Proof

Any example where is an abelian group and is a proper nontrivial verbal subgroup of suffices. For instance, is the cyclic group of order for some prime , and is the set of multiples of .
