Talk:intercardinal direction

Relative directions and portmanteaus

Firstly, if we substitute the cardinals north/south and east/west with the relative front/back and left/right then would these also be intercardinals?

• frontleft
• frontright
• backleft
• backright

I'd also like to know if there are any evidence of portmanteaus made to cut down all of these to single syllable terms. For example

• neast
• nest
• seast
• sest

I reach a snag with the 2nd relative though due to overlap with existing.

• feft
• fight? fright? froight froght?
• beft
• bight

These would be valuable in describing octagons or hexagons.

You should use WT:LOP for this. SURJECTION _{·talk·contr·log·} 23:15, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
