Description
I was in a band called ELIAS for years This is a image I made when I first started doing digital art.
A star polygon is a non-convex polygon which looks in some way like a star. Only the regular ones have been studied in any depth; star polygons in general appear not to have been formally defined. They should not be confused with star domains
Modern star polygon names are created by combinding a numeral prefix, such as penta, to the Greek suffix -gram (in this case creating pentagram). The prefix is normally a Greek cardinal, but synonyms using other prefixes exist. For example, a nine-pointed polygon is called an enneagram, but is also known as a nonagram, using the ordinal nona from Latin.
Although this prefix+suffix-formula can be used to create or find star polygon names, it does not necessarily reflect the word's history. For example, pentagram derives from pentagrammos / pentegrammos ("five lines") whose -grammos derives from grammē meaning "line". The -gram suffix itself derives from gramma meaning "to write". Gramma and grammē are however very similar in sound, writing (γράμμα, γραμμή) and meaning ("written character, letter, that which is drawn", "stroke or line of a pen[2]"), making the two suffix origins near identical in historical aspect.
