en Lua 5.2 Reference Manual Roberto Ierusalimschy; Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo; Waldemar Celes https://controlbyweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/lua-users-manual.pdf 2013 1 ControlByWeb Lua is a dynamically typed language. This means that variables do not have types; only values do. There are no type definitions in the language. All values carry their own type. All values in Lua are first-class values. This means that all values can be stored in variables, passed as arguments to other functions, and returned as results. https://web.archive.org/web/20240725095824/https://controlbyweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/lua-users-manual.pdf

Usage notes
The capitalized spelling pt Lua is used when referring to the astronomical object, while lowercase pt lua refers to how it is perceived from Earth (including moonlight). Lowercase pt lua is also used equivalently to en moon a large natural satellite. As such, the names for the moon phases are not capitalized.
Like the expression pt luz do Sol, pt luz da Lua is written with the capitalized form.
