FWIW, this seems to me more like an exercise in English language riddles 
than anything actually to do with mathematics. :-P

R and D could denote several quite plausible combinations. However, I'm 
stumped for anything that would fit L and H S.

Nemesis offered H for hypotenuse, and indeed H S as hypotenuse squared 
seems plausible. But then that doesn't fit with anything else for the 
rest of the sentence.
