Duel:

Main Entry: 1du·el
Pronunciation: 'dü-&l also 'dyü-
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Medieval Latin duellum, from Old Latin, war
Date: 15th century
1 : a combat between two persons; specifically : a formal combat with weapons fought between two persons in the presence of witnesses
2 : a conflict between antagonistic persons, ideas, or forces; also : a hard-fought contest between two opponents

Dual:
Main Entry: 1du·al
Pronunciation: 'dü(-&)l also 'dyü-&l
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin dualis, from duo two -- more at TWO
Date: 1607
1 of grammatical number : denoting reference to two
2 a : consisting of two parts or elements or having two like parts : DOUBLE b : having a double character or nature

Very very different meanings. An exhaust has little to do with conflict or a struggle of ideas. It would take a slick marketting trick to make that one make sense :-) Cross referenced with A'PEXi, it's dual :P

That's all I have to add. . . Carry on.
