222-
Twigils influence the scoping of a variable; however, they
223-
have no influence over whether the primary sigil interpolates. That is, if
224-
C<$a> interpolates, so do C<$^a>, C<$*a>, C<$=a>, C<$?a>, C<$.a>, etc. It
225-
only depends on the C<$>.
222+
We use the term twigils, a word play with I<sigil>, that indicates it uses two
223+
symbols in front of an identifier; the second symbol will be placed between
224+
the sigil and the identifier, and it will be related to the scoping of a
225+
variable, that is, where that variable is defined and can be changed.
