Talk:corner

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I have a comment for the etymology section for the word "corner", but I don't know how to properly make the suggestion, so here goes: The biblical (and modern) Hebrew word "keren" means both "corner" and "horn". The plural form is "kornot" or "kornos". This word seems remarkably similar to "corners" or even "horns". Is is possible that this should be part of the etymology?

Rfv-sense Mathematics sense. I changed the existing def to make it slightly more rigorous (the concept of a function having two derivatives at a given point is definitely nonstandard). But is it used? The citation I included now seems unconvincing, seeming rather to refer to a more intuitive notion of corner. — Pingkudimmi 13:03, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
