The Answer Is µ
*This is a curious but pivotal early edition of Tayaken's early analysis of linguistic dichotomies. Her approach is polyvalent but her implementation reduce to trivalence.
Alac and...

I answereth Mu By Miss Tayaken Spelling
Great is the calamity that befaleth the fool whose grasp of the complexitie of vulgar language and its manifolde periles allows them to abyde a question constructed to entrap.
Entire populations and cultures hath fallen benethe the crushing wayt of ignomity so delivered by the foes of linguistic integrity.
We hath in our discourse a most vile dichotomy for there is naught but affirmation and true negation.
Considereth you the Paladin Crispiclas who when asked by his foe Soggimander "Hath you stopped your habit of pillaging and plundering the villages the Father sends you to save?"
Crispiclas wast so wroth that when thus presented with this foul spectre of linguistic terpitude he could scarce feign ignorance nor deny the questions very basic and instead thinking the charge a falsehood replied in the negative "Nay".
Crispiclas was of course removed from his station for his grave folly and verbal admission.
He could have scarcely given a better answer had he answered "Yea" for whence he saytheth such he hath still by his own mouth admitted that he transgresseth in a manner most most vyle.
What course, then, has the noble paladin? Or, indeed, the vile necromancer asked if he has stopped picking daisies to give to all his friends?
What answer can be given of any question whose structure profoundly reflects either entrapment most loaded, or worser still base misapprehension so profound that the one which asketh it clearly has all the intellect of a boxless sneevil?
The answer that thy seeketh is Mu.
Signifying not the negation of the substance of the question but the negation of the question itself.
Mu has must grand utility:
Do you hate me because of my profound body odor or because of my tendency to steal food from your dinner plate without permission?
If neither is the true reason for your apathy, or if indeed if both are the reason, or if indeed you love the detestable fellow... all can be safely answered with Mu.
In our next chapter we will consider the mystical underpinnings of Mu and its lesser forms Mi, MeeVom, and icky-icky-icky-acky-kipang-boop-zoing.
Alas there are only a few fragmented copies of this foundational summary of trivalent grammar left and this is the shortest of these.
