Missing sense?
[edit]Chambers 1908 has "adj. shutting in; enclosing". That's different from our senses, since it describes things being limited or confined, while the modern sense is usually the opposite. Equinox ◑ 01:32, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
inclusive reckoning is mentioned in the definition of tertian --Backinstadiums (talk) 14:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yes. Sum of parts, I would say. "Including the extremes as well as the area between" + "The action of calculating or estimating something". Equinox ◑ 15:41, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Equinox: then, since the adjective other is definied as second, isn't every other also dispensable? --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:12, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- I don't think so. Because every other and each other mean completely different things. Equinox ◑ 02:39, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
