arco a sesto acuto / arco a tutto sesto

Italian. Why not have a sesto acuto / a tutto sesto with the definition

1. (architecture, of an arch) pointed / round

The Italian Wiktionary defines one architectural sense of ogiva as “arco, finestra o volta a sesto acuto”, so the use of a sesto acuto is not confined to arches.  --Lambiam 12:53, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

It can indeed refer to windows, vaults or arcades as well (though that's way less common then it referring to the arch directly). So maybe

1. (of an arch) pointed
2. (of a window, vault, arcade, etc.) having pointed arches

A one-line definition of a sesto acuto could be, “(architecture) ogival”.  --Lambiam 12:56, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

I made the entries. I preferred a more thorough approach to be more clear. Ogive is also a term we should be wary of since it can also indicate a vault's rib (costolone). Catonif (talk) 13:30, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Now that we have the entries and agree that these old ones are SOP, I'd say we can make them redirects. I'll procede if there's no objection. Catonif (talk) 20:12, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Redirected and striked. Catonif (talk) 15:30, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
