Three pairwise ultraparallel hyperbolic lines may have disjoint common perpendiculars or coincident ones. In the upper-half-plane model, three semicircles of radius 1/2 centred at −5/2,0,5/2 have mutually disjoint common perpendiculars. Three concentric semicircles instead have the same vertical common perpendicular. Thus pairwise ultraparallelism alone does not determine the incidence of their perpendiculars.
