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
.
