-gonal

This is just a word ending. Words ending in -gonal are adjectives made from nouns ending in -gon that are suffixed with -al. Ultimateria (talk) 22:26, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

• Could become productive on its own. Hyperbolick (talk) 22:34, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

  Is that meant as an argument for retention? Crystal ball meets many-worlds.  --Lambiam 11:16, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

It looks like delete to me, including diagonal is wrong for a start. DonnanZ (talk) 23:21, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Delete. Or else we should include suffixes like -ousness: Used to form nouns describing related adjectives ending in -ous. seriousness.  --Lambiam 11:16, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Delete or possibly redirect to -gon. Compare Talk:-lessness. Equinox ◑ 13:30, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

• Redirect to -gon sounds like an excellent solution. bd2412 T 03:04, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

  Even a redirect seems wrong unless there is evidence of productivity, which has not been forthcoming. DCDuring (talk) 18:25, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

  If someone looks up this exact construction, it would be better to take them to the proper form than to leave them to the vagaries of the search engine (which, as it stands, would give them these results). bd2412 T 05:39, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Sounds like what the drunk geometrist said late on a Saturday night, "I-so-gonal rearrange your obtuse face!"

But seriously isn't this just -gon + -al? Delete if so. -Mike (talk) 17:10, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
