The English King James translation is a rendering of the Hebrew Masoretic text (Old Testament) and Greek Textus Receptus (New Testament). "Carbunculus" is a word used in Latin for a small coal (or charcoal), and also for any of a number of precious or semi-precious stones, especially those of a red color.; Jerome apparently chose the term because of its similarity in meaning to the Septuagint's ἄνθραξ ("anthrax" meaning "coal"), which was in turn
Type theory of a function is denoted with an arrow formula_16 from the parameter type to the function's resulting type. Thus, formula_17. Calling or "applying" a function to an argument may be written with or without parentheses, so formula_18 or formula_12. Not using parentheses is more common, because multiple argument functions can be defined using currying. There are many different set theories and many different systems of type theory, so what follows are generalizations. The term formula_20 reduces to formula_21. Since formula_21 cannot be reduced further, it is called a normal form. A system of type theory is said to be strongly
