Possibly, although Paul Blay put it in and his Japanese was way beyond that level. |

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". |

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

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. |
