per jbovlaste, complex number is {lujna'u} i.e. {pluja namcu}, a

Someone's suggested {relcimdyna'u}, which goes well with {voncimdyna'u}
for "quaternion".


I don't like that very much. a two-dimensional number should be a vector, not a complex number. {lujna'u} I like better, because this is a composite number, just as {lujvo} is a composite word.
