"Easy, and it means no more than anything else when it is what you
call menslated. 'Bary' stems from the root 'heavy' as in 'barytone'
referring to something of heavy voice or highly accented. 'Trine'
refers to something threefold in astronomical or--er--astrological
(haruumpf) meaning. My God, Dusty, the word itself pertains to
something as three-times-as-heavy. You don't expect me--or any
other scientist--to come up with something sensible from a bunch
of half-baked definitions, do you? All you've given me so far is a
workable theory, an unknown medium of radiation, and something that
is three-times-heavy. Tell you what, chum. Bring me your Scyth Radnor
and introduce me. I know guys who would analyze MacBeth's three
witches' brew if they could get a microgram sample. But not from that
gobble-gabble about the 'fillet of a fenny snake, in the cauldron
boil & bake!' line out of Shakespeare." The physicist went on in an
undertone, "Eye of frog and tongue of newt," until Dusty stood up and
prepared to leave.
