Re: [tg] terminology question



I take it no one liked my idea of “perpendicular” so I thought I’d defend it a bit: it’s descriptive of the two formations being rotated 90 degrees from each other and it doesn’t make us rack our brains about which application of “phantom” is analogous.

That being said, I’d also be happy with resurrecting “dunlap” if it’s carefully defined to cover this case and the known historical uses.

I'm strongly pro-descriptive, if we can reach a semblance of consensus about what is adequately descriptive.

I have a vague memory of this also, and I think it was spelled Dunlap.  A broader question for others is this:  Do you want us to use an older historical name, or would you prefer something more descriptive?

I am TOTALLY thinking of Dunlop.  Thank you.  So then the question is
what is the actual definition of Dunlop, and is it spelled Dunlap, and
could it apply?
