Etymology
The specific name is derived from Latin caepa (meaning onion).
gollark: Imaginary numbers of apples were trickier, since all the apples are imaginary, but I just made those apples especially imaginary.
gollark: Imagining negative apples, obviously.
gollark: This was a bit difficult when I learned about negative numbers but I eventually found a resolution.
gollark: This is why when I see any number, I simply imagine that many apples.
gollark: You jest, but intuitive perception of numbers is kind of weird.
