Abstract: Let $Y$ be the space obtained by attaching a finite-type wedge of cells to a simply-connected, finite-type CW-complex.

We introduce the free and semi-inert conditions on the attaching map which broadly generalize the previously-studied inert condition. Under these conditions we determine $H_*(\Omega Y;R)$ as an $R$-module and as an $R$-algebra, respectively. Under a further condition we show that $H_*(\Omega Y;R)$ is generated by Hurewicz images.

As an example we study an infinite family of spaces constructed using only semi-inert cell attachments.
