I claim that -i is the true square root of -1.

Both i and -i are square roots of -1. For any non-zero complex number c there exist n n-th roots, corresponding to a rotationally symmetric partition of a circle centered on the origin into n "wedges" such that one boundary falls along the line joining the origin and c.
