See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 178-180, 242. Note: The letter M came into English from the Greek, through the Latin, the form of the Greek letter being further derived from the Ph[oe]nician, and ultimately, it is believed, from the Egyptian.

The relation of b and m is the same as that of d and t to n. and that of g and k to ng. 2. As a numeral, M stands for one thousand, both in English and Latin.

mu /moo/ The correct answer to the classic trick question "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?". Assuming that you have no wife or you have never beaten your wife, the answer "yes" is wrong because it implies that you used to beat your wife and then stopped, but "no" is worse because it suggests that you have one and are still beating her. According to various Discordians and Douglas Hofstadter the correct answer is usually "mu", a Japanese word alleged to mean "Your question cannot be answered because it depends on incorrect assumptions". Hackers tend to be sensitive to logical inadequacies in language, and many have adopted this suggestion with enthusiasm. The word `mu' is actually from Chinese, meaning `nothing'; it is used in mainstream Japanese in that sense, but native speakers do not recognize the Discordian question-denying use. It almost certainly derives from overgeneralization of the answer in the following well-known Rinzei Zen {koan}: A monk asked Joshu, "Does a dog have the Buddha nature?" Joshu retorted, "Mu!"

m2 A {Modula-2} {compiler} for {VAX} and {MIPS}. A {Pascal} compiler for VAX is also included. The Pascal compiler accepts a language that is almost identical to {Berkeley Pascal}. It was originally designed and built by Michael L. Powell in 1984. Joel McCormack made it faster, fixed lots of bugs, and swiped/wrote a User's Manual. Len Lattanzi ported it to the MIPS. It has the following extensions: {foreign function} and data interface, {dynamic array} variables, {subarray parameter}s, multi-dimensional {open array parameter}s, {inline procedure}s, longfloat type, type-checked interface to {C} library I/O routines. It runs on {VAX} ({Ultrix}, {BSD}) and {MIPS} ({Ultrix}). {(ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/DEC/Modula-2/m2.tar.Z)}. E-mail: . (1992-07-06)

m4 A {macro} processor for {Unix} and {GCOS} which is more flexible than {cpp}. m4 copies its input to the output, expanding macros which can be either built-in or user-defined. m4 has built-in functions for including files, running {Unix} commands, doing integer arithmetic, manipulating text in various ways and recursing. m4 can be used either as a {front-end} to a compiler or as a stand-alone tool. {sendmail}'s configuration file (/etc/sendmail.cf) is writen in m4 macros. There is a {GNU m4 v1.1 (ftp://gnu.org/pub/gnu/m4-1.0.tar.Z)} by Francois Pinard and a {public domain} version by Ozan Yigit and Richard A.
