The lemniscate functions have periods related to a number {{math|ϖ = 2.622057…}} called the [[lemniscate constant]], the ratio of a lemniscate’slemniscate's perimeter to its diameter. This number is a [[Quartic plane curve|quartic]] analog of the ([[Conic section|quadratic]]) {{math|π = 3.141592…}}, [[pi|ratio of perimeter to diameter of a circle]].
 
As [[complex analysis|complex functions]], {{math|sl}} and {{math|cl}} have a [[square lattice|square]] [[period lattice]] (a multiple of the [[Gaussian integer]]s) with [[Fundamental pair of periods|fundamental periods]] <math>\{(1 + i)\varpi, (1 - i)\varpi\},</math><ref>The fundamental periods <math>(1+i)\varpi</math> and <math>(1-i)\varpi</math> are "minimal" in the sense that they have the smallest absolute value of all periods whose real part is non-negative.</ref> and are a special case of two [[Jacobi elliptic functions]] on that lattice, <math>\operatorname{sl} z = \operatorname{sn}(z; i),</math> <math>\operatorname{cl} z = \operatorname{cd}(z; i)</math>.
