Olivia thought through the question carefully. She knew that a paragram was a pun... but what did that have to do with arithmancy? She could think of nothing else, but this teacher seemed to encourage exploration, so Olivia rose her hand anyway. "Well, paragram commonly means pun or a play on words. Is there a different meaning in arithmancy?" She thought there must be. She couldn't think what puns had to do with the study of numbers.
