I'm usually not so quick at finding puns, but this seems clear to me or it's a weird coincidence: There is a building in London called "The Shard". It was designed by Renzo Piano. "shard" in Klingon is {re'nop} -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" https://tlhInganHol.com https://klingon.wiki/En/NewWordsQepa31

So what's the difference between mI' mergh

complex number and mI' rorgh imaginary number?

Assuming that the difference is the same as in English (and other languages with roughly the same terminology): A complex number is a number that has a real component and an imaginary component. * Real numbers are complex numbers with an imaginary component of 0. For example, 5 = 5+0i. * Imaginary numbers are complex numbers with a a real component of 0. For example, sqrt(-1) = i = 0 + 1i. * 0 is usually considered both real and imaginary; it makes life easier if both the real and imaginary number lines are contiguous. You can think of it as a two-dimensional number plane, but with some special calculation rules (i.e. (a+bi)^2 = a^2 -b^2 + 2abi) that make it different from, say, R^2 (the real coordinate plane). This interpretation also makes sense when you consider the meaning of {mergh}, "to be combined". //loghaD ________________________________ From: tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org> on behalf of SuStel via tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol@lists.kli.org> Sent: Monday, July 29, 2024 9:15:16 PM To: tlhingan-hol@lists.kli.org Cc: SuStel Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] qep'a' wejmaH wa'DIch mu' chu' So what's the difference between mI' mergh complex number and mI' rorgh imaginary number?

I think this is because the original request was for "entwine <https://www.kli.org/chabal-archive/entwine/>", and the answer was that {tew} means "be entwined", and thus using {tewmoH} meets the request for "entwine" (with an object). -- De'vID
