Two distinct hyperbolic lines are parallel, in the limiting-parallel convention, when they do not intersect in the hyperbolic plane and have exactly one common ideal endpoint. In the upper half-plane model, distinct vertical lines are parallel, sharing infinity. Disjoint lines with no common ideal endpoint are instead ultraparallel hyperbolic lines; only these have a common perpendicular of ultraparallel hyperbolic lines.
