I always thought Linga (Lingam) meant Sexual orientation (purush or Stri)or sexual organ. Apparently, it has more meaning, look under Definition
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingam).
Geology put the point very eloquently; I don't know what's the big deal about comparing apple to oranges, and many times people who use this phrase constrain the meaning of comparison to one single entity. A comparison can be made on any attribute and the items being compared are often not identical..hence the purpose of comparison.
Behoove, It's unfortunate that we are discussing other matters than the literary aspect of your writing; but I am sure you understand where we are coming from.
