<upd_detl>Just curious about the second gloss.
Does it really help to say "three-cornered polygon"?
That seems like a definition of "triangle".
But who needs a definition of "triangle"?
And who would understand "three-cornered polygon" if he 
didn't already know what a triangle is?
Googling "three-cornered polygon" yields few hits, and most 
of them seem to be derived from EDICT.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Let's drop it. All my JEs just say "triangle". (It came in when the entry was proposed in 2006.)</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>It just occurred to me that "three-cornered polygon" must have been a literal (Japlish) 
rendering of the three kanji in this word 三 + 角 + 形 -- like defining 前菜 as "prior dish".</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Possibly, although Paul Blay put it in and his Japanese was way beyond that level.</upd_detl>
