| Japanese language IPAlanguage spoken by over 130Japan and in Japanese emigrant communities. It is related to the Japonic-Ryukyuan languages. Its relationships with other languages remain undemonstrated. It is an agglutinative language and is distinguished by a complex system of honorifics reflecting the hierarchical nature of Japanese society, with verb forms and particular vocabulary to indicate the relative status of the speaker, the listener, and a person mentioned in conversation (regardless of their presence).

| Just intonation just intonation is any musical tuning in which the frequencies of notes are related by ratios of whole numbers. Any interval tuned in this way is called a just interval; in other words, the two notes are members of the same harmonic series.Justly tuned intervals are usually written either as ratios, with a colon (for example, 3fractions, with a solidus (3 ⁄ 2). Sometimes a technical distinction is made between the two styles, but in general they are equivalent and interchangeable. Just_intonation | |
| Jell-O Jell-O is a brand name belonging to U.S.-based Kraft Foods for a number of gelatin desserts, including fruit gels, puddings and no-bake cream pies. The brand's popularity has led to its becoming a generic term for gelatin dessert across the US and Canada. Because of this, in the United States, packages of Jell-O are marked as Jell-O Brand.

| Kerberos (protocol) Kerberos is a computer network authentication protocol, which allows nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure manner. It is also a suite of free software published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that implements this protocol. Its designers aimed primarily at a client-server model, and it provides mutual authentication eavesdropping and replay attacks. Kerberos_(protocol) | |
| Knights of the Lambda Calculus The Knights of the Lambda Calculus is a semi-fictional organization of expert LISP and Scheme hackers. The name refers to the lambda calculus, a mathematical formalism invented by Alonzo Church, with which LISP is intimately connected, and references the Knights Templar.There is no actual organization that goes by the name Knights of the Lambda Calculus; it mostly only exists as a hacker culture in-joke.

| Keynesian economics Keynesian economics (also called Keynesianism () and Keynesian Theory) is a macroeconomic theory based on the ideas of 20th-century British economist John Maynard Keynes. Keynesian economics argues that private sector decisions sometimes lead to inefficient macroeconomic outcomes and therefore advocates active policy responses by the public sector, including monetary policy actions by the central bank and fiscal policy actions by the government to stabilize output over the business cycle.

| Live action role-playing game A live action role-playing game (LARP) is a form of role-playing game where the participants physically act out their characters' actions. The players pursue goals within a fictional setting represented by the real world, while interacting with each other in character. The outcome of player actions may be mediated by game rules, or determined by consensus among players. Live_action_role-playing_game | |
| Leon Trotsky Leon Trotsky (Russian:Lev Davidovich Trotsky, also translated Leo, Lyev, Trotski, Trotskij, Trockij and Trotzky) ( – August 21, 1940), born Lev Davidovich Bronstein (), was a Bolshevik revolutionary and Marxist theorist. He was one of the leaders of the Russian October Revolution, second only to Lenin. Leon_Trotsky | |
| Lie algebra mathematics, a Lie algebra is an algebraic structure whose main use is in studying geometric objects such as Lie groups and differentiable manifolds. Lie algebras were introduced to study the concept of infinitesimal transformations. The term "Lie algebra" (after Sophus Lie, ("lee"), not ("lye") ) was introduced by Hermann Weyl in the 1930s. In older texts, the name "infinitesimal group" is used. Lie_algebra | |
| Lift (force) fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a force on it. If the fluid is air, the force is called an aerodynamic force. Lift is defined to be the component of this force which is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction. It contrasts with the drag force, which is is defined to be the component of the aerodynamic force parallel to the flow direction. An airfoil is a streamlined shape that is capable of generating significantly more lift than drag. Lift_(force) | |
| Lisp (programming language) Lisp (or LISP) is a family of computer programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized syntax. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language in widespread use today; only Fortran is older. Like Fortran, Lisp has changed a great deal since its early days, and a number of dialects have existed over its history. Today, the most widely known general-purpose Lisp dialects are Common Lisp and Scheme. Lisp_(programming_language) | |

| Lisp machine Lisp machines were general-purpose computers designed (usually through hardware support) to efficiently run Lisp as their main software language. In a sense, they were the first commercial single-user workstations. Despite being modest in number (perhaps 7,000 units total as of 1988), many now-commonplace technologies — including effective garbage collection, laser printing, windowing systems, computer mice, high-resolution bit-mapped graphics, computer graphic rendering, networking innovations and protocols like CHAOSNet — were commercially pioneered on Lisp machines.

| Light-emitting diode A light-emitting diode (LED) (, or just ), is an electronic light source. The LED was first invented in Russia in the 1920s, and introduced in America as a practical electronic component in 1962. Oleg Vladimirovich Losev was a radio technician who noticed that diodes used in radio receivers emitted light when current was passed through them. In 1927, he published details in a Russian journal of the first ever LED. Light-emitting_diode | |
| Logo (programming language) Logo is a computer programming language used for functional programming. It is an adaptation and dialect of the Lisp language; some have called it Lisp without the parentheses. Today, it is known mainly for its turtle graphics, but it also has significant facilities for handling lists, files, I/O, and recursion.Logo was created in 1967 for educational use, more so for constructivist teaching, by Daniel G.

| Life Life is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have self-sustaining biological processes ("alive," "living"), from those which do not death), or else because they lack such functions and are classified as "inanimate."In the science of biology, "life" (cf. Life | |
| Lorentz transformation In physics, the Lorentz transformation converts between two different observers' measurements of space and time, where one observer is in uniform (non-accelerating) motion with respect to the other. In classical physics (Galilean relativity), the only conversion believed necessary was , describing how the origin of one observer's coordinate system slides through space with respect to the other's, at speed v and along the x-axis of each frame.

| Linear algebra Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerned with the study of vectors, vector spaces (also called linear spaces), linear maps (also called linear transformations), and systems of linear equations. Vector spaces are a central theme in modern mathematics; thus, linear algebra is widely used in both abstract algebra and functional analysis. Linear_algebra | |
| Leda and the Swan Leda and the Swan is a motif from Greek mythology, in which Zeus came to Leda in the form of a swan.

| Minimum wage A minimum wage is the lowest hourly, daily or monthly wage that employers may legally pay to employees or workers. Equivalently, it is the lowest wage at which workers may sell their labor. Although minimum wage laws are in effect in a great many jurisdictions, there are differences of opinion about the benefits and drawbacks of a minimum wage. Minimum_wage | |
| Macbeth Macbeth is a tragedy by William Shakespeare about a regicide and its aftermath. It is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy and is believed to have been written sometime between 1603 and 1606, with 1607 being the very latest possible date. The earliest account of a performance of what was likely Shakespeare's play is April 1611, when Simon Forman recorded seeing such a play at the Globe Theatre. It was first published in the Folio of 1623, possibly from a prompt book for a specific performance. Macbeth | |

| Media bias Media bias refers to the real and perceived bias of journalists and news producers within the mass media, in the selection of which events and stories are reported and how they are covered. The term "media bias" usually implies a pervasive or widespread bias contravening the standards of journalism, rather than the perspective of an individual journalist or article. The direction and degree of media bias in various countries is widely disputed, although its causes are both practical and theoretical. Media_bias | |
| Manga () consist of comics and print cartoons (sometimes also called komikku ), in the Japanese language and conforming to the style developed in Japan in the late 20th century. In their modern form, manga date from shortly after World War II, but they have a long, complex pre-history in earlier Japanese art. Manga | |

| Mass Mass is a concept used in the physical sciences to explain a number of observable behaviors, and in everyday usage, it is common to identify mass with those resulting behaviors. In particular, mass is commonly identified with weight. But according to our modern scientific understanding, the weight of an object results from the interaction of its mass with a gravitational field, so while mass is part of the explanation of weight, it is not the complete explanation.
