Notes on Different Meanings
  • The two primary meanings of "se" are entirely distinct. One is a geographical/nautical term (compass point), and the other is a scientific term (chemical element). Context is crucial for determining which meaning is intended. The compass point is almost always capitalized (SE) in modern usage to distinguish it.
