Jubal
nodded
agreement
.
"
Quite
true
.
That
’
s
why
I
’
ve
kept
up
my
reading
of
it
,
a
little
.
"
"
Yes
.
But
the
Martian
language
is
so
much
more
complex
than
is
English
–
and
so
wildly
different
in
the
fashion
in
which
it
abstracts
its
picture
of
the
universe
–
that
English
and
Arabic
might
as
well
be
considered
one
and
the
same
language
,
by
comparison
.
An
Englishman
and
an
Arab
can
learn
to
think
each
other
’
s
thoughts
,
in
the
other
’
s
language
.
But
I
’
m
not
certain
that
it
will
ever
be
possible
for
us
to
think
in
Martian
(
other
than
by
the
unique
fashion
Mike
learned
it
)
–
oh
,
we
can
learn
a
sort
of
a
‘
pidgin
’
Martian
,
yes
–
that
is
what
I
speak
.
"
Now
take
this
one
word
:
‘
grok
.
’
Its
literal
meaning
,
one
which
I
suspect
goes
back
to
the
origin
of
the
Martian
race
as
thinking
,
speaking
creatures
–
and
which
throws
light
on
their
whole
‘
map
’
–
is
quite
easy
.
‘
Grok
’
means
‘
to
drink
.
’
"
"
Huh
?
"
said
Jubal
.
"
But
Mike
never
says
‘
grok
’
when
he
’
s
just
talking
about
drinking
.
He
-
"
"
Just
a
moment
.
"
Mahmoud
spoke
to
Mike
in
Martian
.
Mike
looked
faintly
surprised
and
said
,
"
‘
Grok
’
is
drink
,
"
and
dropped
the
matter
.
"
But
Mike
would
also
have
agreed
,
"
Mahmoud
went
on
,
"
if
I
had
named
a
hundred
other
English
words
,
words
which
represent
what
we
think
of
as
different
concepts
,
even
pairs
of
antithetical
concepts
.
And
‘
grok
’
means
all
of
these
,
depending
on
how
you
use
it
.
It
means
‘
fear
,
’
it
means
‘
love
,
’
it
means
‘
hate
’
–
proper
hate
,
for
by
the
Martian
‘
map
’
you
cannot
possibly
hate
anything
unless
you
grok
it
completely
,
understand
it
so
thoroughly
that
you
merge
with
it
and
it
merges
with
you
–
then
and
only
then
can
you
hate
it
.
By
hating
yourself
.
But
this
also
implies
,
by
necessity
,
that
you
love
it
,
too
,
and
cherish
it
and
would
not
have
it
otherwise
.
Then
you
can
hate
–
and
(
I
think
)
that
Martian
hate
is
an
emotion
so
black
that
the
nearest
human
equivalent
could
only
be
called
a
mild
distaste
.
"
Mahmoud
screwed
up
his
face
.
"
It
means
‘
identically
equal
’
in
the
mathematical
sense
.
The
human
clich
,
‘
This
hurts
me
worse
than
it
does
you
’
has
a
Martian
flavor
to
it
,
if
only
a
trace
.
The
Martians
seem
to
know
instinctively
what
we
learned
painfully
from
modern
physics
,
that
the
observer
interacts
with
the
observed
simply
through
the
process
of
observation
.
‘
Grok
’
means
to
understand
so
thoroughly
that
the
observer
becomes
a
part
of
the
process
being
observed
–
to
merge
,
to
blend
,
to
intermarry
,
to
lose
personal
identity
in
group
experience
.
It
means
almost
everything
that
we
mean
by
religion
,
philosophy
,
and
science
–
and
it
means
as
little
to
us
as
color
means
to
a
blind
man
.
"
Mahmoud
paused
.
"
Jubal
,
if
I
chopped
you
up
and
made
a
stew
of
you
,
you
and
the
stew
,
whatever
else
was
in
it
,
would
grok
–
and
when
I
ate
you
,
we
would
grok
together
and
nothing
would
be
lost
and
it
would
not
matter
which
one
of
us
did
the
chopping
up
and
eating
.
