Arlo,   I stand corrected.  However, there is something awfully charming about “thrupple.”  Can I continue to use it?   N   Nicholas S.

I believe "tuple" itself is just a generalisation of "double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, [...]", with "singleton" being the odd one (pun? intended) out. So the word you want is "triple". -Arlo James Barnes ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
