Shape Names

From Karl's suggestion: "Anyone care to christen this odd shapes?" - I'm surprised at the lack of names for these larger shapes, surely there have been Japanese, Chinese & Korean terms in use at some time? Due to the lack of further information I started developing some mnemonics for myself. If there are 'proper' terms I'd be glad to know them. For now this could provide an interesting diversion. --Xingta
