As ever, Randall has me pondering.

https://xkcd.com/3315/

So is there ½ heavy water where only one hydrogen is deuterium and not both?

Is there extra heavy water with tritium?

I mean is there ...

- Water 1+1
- Half heavy water 1+2
- Heavy water 2+2
- Lopsided heavy water 1+3
- A bit heavier water 2+3
- Very heavy water 3+3

And this is ignoring all combinations with "ium" (electron spinning with no proton or neutron) as Randal proposes.
