Word: peryton Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Coined by the translator Norman Thomas di Giovanni translating Jorge Luis Borges' Book of Imaginary Beings, from Borges' invented Spanish peritio. Astrophysical use began with a paper by S. Burke-Spolaor et al. (see quotations). 1. A fictional creature having the head and forelegs of a stag and the wings and hindquarters of a bird. Example: Then, quite unexpectedly, when I had been staring at them for a long time, the shape of a peryton seemed to spring out as distinctly as if the bird's whole body had been powdered with the dust ground from diamonds. Example: The peryton also makes an appearance, in a nod to its inventor, Borges — who compiled his own bestiary, “The Book of Imaginary Beings,” itself supposedly based on a long-lost medieval text. 2. A radio signal which appears to come from outside the galaxy but is actually produced by terrestrial sources. Example: Despite a trend mimicking that expected from dispersion, such deviations decisively distinguish the pulses’ frequency-dependence from a delay induced by interstellar propagation. Hereafter we distinguish these detections with the name “Perytons,” representing the non-dispersive, highly swept, terrestrial signals exhibited by the pulses. (The name is chosen from mythology to be unassociated with an exact physical phenomenon, due to the ambiguous origin of the detections; Perytons are winged elk that cast the shadow of a man.) Example: Three of these FRBs are factors of >3 narrower than any documented peryton.

Pronunciation: /ˈpɹɒnɪk/ 1. Being the product of two consecutive integers. Labels: not-comparable Example: 1478 - Pierpaolo Muscharello, Algorismus p.163. Pronic root is as if you say, 9 times 9 makes 81. And now take the root of 9, which is 3, and this 3 is added above 81: it makes 84, so that the pronic root of 84 is said to be 3. Example: 1794 - David Wilkie, Theory of interest, p.6, Edinburgh: Peter Hill, 1794. When a = 2, and d = 2 also, in this case, in equation 1st, s=n² + n = a pronic number, which is produced by the addition of even numbers in an arithmetic progression beginning at 2; and the pronic root scriptstyle n=(√4s+1-1)/2.
