Fix and apply the stated clockwise argument principle to . Its logarithmic derivative is periodic, so the integrals over opposite sides of a fundamental cell cancel. Hence . The poles of are precisely the poles of , with unchanged multiplicities, while its zeros are the solutions of . Thus the value multiplicity of an elliptic function is the same fixed pole count for every finite , counting multiplicity.
