medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From: John Dillon <[log in to unmask]>
>My personal preference is for Marjorie's suggestion, "tri-lobed", even if the
three lobes in question aren't neatly divided one from another. ....I would
say "tri-lobed, central part/lobe projecting".
the only problem with that nomenclature, when referring to an object like
this
http://www.hamsa.com/hamsa_jewish_gold_jewelry/PMC-G_menorah_300.html
is that there ain't three "lobes".
other than that, no problemo.
words can mean anything we say they mean, i suppose.
