A method comprising: generating (80) partial values of base codewords corresponding words basic levels of a tree (78) encoding specifies words canonical variable length code code being the partial values based on a displacement of base codewords into a number of bits; generating (82) including a skip indicator instructing a decoder to skip a number of bits in a bitstream to be decoded before proceeding to a selected level of the tree (78) decoding; and storing (84) the partial values and the skip indicator in a data structure in a memory.
