Comma

Postby Audiendus » Sat Oct 16, 2021 2:38 am

comma

1. A punctuation mark used to separate words or phrases within a sentence, and indicating a short pause.

2. (rare, technical) A very small, barely detectable difference in pitch between two musical notes.

(From Greek komma, short clause, from koptein, to cut)

Interestingly, apparently related to hatchet.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
