Some kind of shape apparently? Equinox ◑ 03:52, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- The meaning is unclear. The Mitsubishi logo features a shape composed of three rhombi that might be called a star. But is it a rhombus star? Otherwise, for any number of points larger than 4 – let’s call it N – you can take N copies of a rhombus with an acute angle of 360°/N, and arrange them around a given centre. I suspect this is what is meant; the latter kind is likely attestable. The most common case will be for N = 6; then you get the kind of stars seen on this picture of a quilt. You also get this if you flip the Misubishi logo vertically and combine it with the original, letting the centres coincide. The rhombus stars referred to here are also 6-ponted. This source shows a star composed of eight rhombi (Fig. 9 left at D5). --Lambiam 16:13, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
- I think you're right. I tried to improve the definition a little. I'll try to do a picture some time. I also changed "Synonyms" to "Related terms" since none of the terms seemed to be synonyms. Mihia (talk) 22:40, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
