SEE ALSO:
roDSer dimension (n)
- {roDSer} dimension "refers to a dimension within a coordinate system, not another dimension like in a parallel universe (for which see {'u' quq} [parallel universe] (n) and {'u' Dop} [mirror universe] (n))." (qep'a' 2019)
- "For parallel universe, I'd go with {'u' quq}, using {quq} 'happen simultaneously, be simultaneous'. {quq} is okay for 'parallel' (in this sense). Just as a parallel universe can't exist by itself (there has to be a universe - presumably ours - that it's parallel to), a simultaneous universe can't exist by itself. In both cases, you can refer to one universe at a time - you don't always have to mention both (or several)." (Lieven < MO, 1/08/2018)
rorgh be fantasy (n=v)
- For the noun fantasy: "Make use of {rorgh} 'be fantasy". REQUEST: "the faculty or activity of imagining things, especially things that are impossible or improbable, "This is starting to go into the realm of fantasy", "There's nothing wrong with a good fantasy"." (qep'a' 2020, Grammar Clarifications)
"Reality is that which continues to exist even when you stop believing in it." (Philip K. Dick)
