cock-up

Tanımlar (İngilizce)

1. isim A mistake.

   “If the zodiac was already developed in 2000 BC, it must have been kept as a cult secret or in some non-Babylonian country; this would be a 1500-year conspiracy theory. More likely is the individual cockup theory, viz. the naivety of Eudoxus himself.”

2. isim A superior letter; a lower-case letter placed above the baseline and made smaller than ordinary script; traditionally used in abbreviations.

   “The first word of every section or chapter is generally put in small capitals, after a small neat cock-up letter.”
