Looks like the sound holes of a violin to me.
Oh look, it’s a music major.
But they are not. Those are called f-holes.
F-holes are the name specifically for the holes in the violin family and the contrabass. The more general term is sound hole, which also includes the c-holes of the viol family or the large round hole of a guitar.
F-holes, in particular, are shaped pretty much exactly like an integration sign.
What does the symbol mean in linguistics?
If I remember correctly, it’s IPA for “sh” sound.
voiceless post-alveolar fricative :)
It’s merely a slightly longer sum, so what’s the problem?
I get the feeling you haven’t solved many.
I mean they’re right, Leibniz used a modified s for summa, sum. And an integral is just a sum, an infinite sum over infinitesimal summands, but a sum nevertheless.
Yes, they are right about that being the general concept. I only take issue with the implication that it’s equally simple.
