This is a somewhat funny question. To explain the problem of complex extensions of the principal square root, I would like to have two visibly different square root signs within the same document; for example, besides the usual one, a boldface square root sign, yet hosting a normally typed argument. I have no clues. If not possible, I would be grateful for suggestions about totally different solutions...

Thanks. There was this funny idea of the double sign, which I will use...– GherardoCommented May 9, 2017 at 5:35

Yes of course this can be done with the bm package. The usage is detailed in the package documentation section 3.3.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{bm}
\begin{document}
$\bm\sqrtsign{x} \quad \text{vs.} \quad \sqrt{x}$
\end{document}
However, I would urge you to come up with something a little bit more noticeable.
