We write "camel" in the picture, but it is a dromedary. And nope, "camel" does not mean also "dromedary". -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.105.207.25 ( talk) 09:50, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Regarding, "Some early programming languages, notably Lisp (1958) and COBOL (1959), addressed this problem by allowing a hyphen ("-") to be used between words of compound identifiers, as in "END-OF-FILE": Lisp because it worked well with prefix notation (a Lisp parser would not treat a hyphen in the middle of a symbol as a subtraction operator) ..." This is not the reason. In fact dashes are permitted at both the beginning and the end of lisp symbols without any confusion about minus signs. Yes, lisp uses minus for subtraction. The real distinction is that lisp is delimited by spaces and certain other reserved characters. Therefore
a-b
is a single symbol while
a - b
is 3 different symbols. Palehose5 ( talk) 18:01, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

"In Tibetan proper names like rLobsang, the "r" stands for a prefix glyph in the original script that functions as tone marker rather than a normal letter."
As far as I know, there is no Tibetan proper name transliterated rLobsang, but there is the name བློ་བཟང་, transliterated to blo bzang in Wylie transliteration, which is sometimes written bLo bzang to mark the root letter of the first word. 2A02:8388:A02:9B00:8772:D5AB:16B6:6DA5 ( talk) 14:04, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
