+Also known as Temiminimenty. Tementy was a disciple of [[Tarvu]], who lived in Baalb (later renamed [[Tarvunia]]). Tementy worked as a bridge-builder, although he was involved in a scandal regarding a collapsing bridge which resulted in the death of 4 oxen. Faced with the death penalty (drowning in blood), Tementy turned to [[Tarvu]] for help, as [[Tarvu]] was adept in settling matters of law and legal disputes.// [[Tarvu]] argued that the weight of the bridge was 4444 times that of the 4 oxen, and that there was just one bridge. He then added all the digits together (4444 + 4 + 1) to produce 21. As Tementy was 28 years old at the time, [[Tarvu]] added this number to 21 to produce 49. By multiplying 4 x 9 to produce 36 he added the 3 and the 6 to produce 9. [[Tarvu]] cleverly pointed out that there were exactly 5 eye-witnesses to the collapse of the bridge, and that each of them had 2 eyes, (i.e total of 10), however one of the witnesses was actually a cyclops (a musician named Sil-Tartin). Therefore there were just 9 eyes in total. With the bridge collapsing on the 9th hour of the 9th day of the 9th month, [[Tarvu]] said "Time is time and eyes never lie." and with that, he won the case, and Tementy was freed.
+The story of Tementy and the broken bridge is the reason why many Tarvuists do not use bridges.
