→Definition as trigonometry: the Jacobi ellipse: I added this myself but it is distracting and it's not needed. I'll just refer the curious reader to the DLMF. |
→Periodicity, poles, and residues: Added a characterization by poles |

Line 491:
When applicable, poles displaced above by 2''K'' or displaced to the right by 2''K''′ have the same value but with signs reversed, while those diagonally opposite have the same value. Note that poles and zeroes on the left and lower edges are considered part of the unit cell, while those on the upper and right edges are not.
The information about poles can in fact be used to [[Characterization (mathematics)|characterize]] the Jacobi elliptic functions:<ref>{{cite book |last1=Whittaker |first1=Edmund Taylor |authorlink1=Edmund T.
