net
in use among the hebrews for fishing, hunting, and fowling. the fishing-net was probably constructed after the form of that used by the egyptians (isa. 19:8). there were three kinds of nets.
1. the drag-net or hauling-net (gr. sagene), of great size, and requiring many men to work it. it was usually let down from the fishing-boat, and then drawn to the shore or into the boat, as circumstances might require (matt. 13:47, 48).
2. the hand-net or casting-net (gr. amphiblestron), which was thrown from a rock or a boat at any fish that might be seen (matt. 4:18; mark 1:16). it was called by the latins funda. it was of circular form, "like the top of a tent."
3. the bag-net (gr. diktyon), used for enclosing fish in deep water (luke 5:4-9). the fowling-nets were (1) the trap, consisting of a net spread over a frame, and supported by a stick in such a way that it fell with the slightest touch (amos 3:5, "gin;" ps. 69:22; job 18:9; eccl. 9:12). (2) the snare, consisting of a cord to catch birds by the leg (job 18:10; ps. 18:5; 116:3; 140:5). (3.) the decoy, a cage filled with birds as decoys (jer. 5:26, 27). hunting-nets were much in use among the hebrews.

Rakefet
Neith
Neith or Net (Egyptian) One of the most ancient Egyptian deities, the Lady of the West. Her characteristic symbol is the arrow; later Greek writers equated her with Pallas Athene. In late dynastic times, Net was closely associated with Hathor, but in the earliest records she is connected with the primeval watery ocean or cosmic chaos, from which arose the sun god Ra. More often she was associated with Isis -- her concrete or manifested self -- being called "the great goddess, mother of all the gods, mistress of heaven who came into being in the beginning." Net is portrayed as the virgin mother, suckling the infant Horus, similar to the representations of Isis. The famous passage given by Plutarch (Isis and Osiris ch 9) generally attributed to Isis, was said to have been found engraved upon a statue of Net. Plutarch also states that the Egyptians often called Isis Athene, signifying "I have come from myself" (ch 42).
When the Egyptians wished to depict Hephaestos they draw a scarab and a vulture, and when they want to represent Athene (Net) they draw a vulture and a scarab, for they believed that the world is composed of masculine and feminine forces, and these two deities are the only gods whom they believed to be both male and female.

Klingon - English
net
pron. that

Comment :
net is used in the same manner as 'e' to form complex sentences, but *only* under two conditions :
1) The secondary verb (the one following net) has no prefix, i.e. a third person subject.
2) The intended meaning of the construction is to show that the subject of the secondary verb is "someone", i.e. unknown (as with the suffix lu').

e.g. :
Dochvam vISop net pIH'a' ? = Does someone expect me to eat this thing ? (Am I expected to eat this thing ?).

net
.net (network) is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) used on the Internet's Domain Name System. The .net gTLD is currently operated by VeriSign. Registrations are processed via accredited registrars and internationalized domain names are also accepted (see details).

.net is one of the original top-level domains (despite not being mentioned in RFC 920), created in January 1985. It was initially intended for use by network oriented entities such as Internet service providers. Currently, there are no formal restrictions on who can register a .net domain name. Therefore, while still popular with network operators, it is often treated as a second .com.
