Section names

[-JKP-]

If enough members agree about the general principle, we could find names based on fact. For example, we could refer to the "zodiac section" as "calendar section" or "month roundels" because someone has written months on them. That's a neutral fact. The challenge will just be to find something people agree with.

i agree, however, that for some sections this is difficult. Especially the bathing section, I think. "Bathing" is an assumption and steers towards a balneis interpretation. On the other hand, it is very convenient.

Then again, it is not clear at all to me whether "bathing section" refers to the entire quire 13 or only to those folios where people are sitting in large pools of water! So even within the traditional terminology, I would love to have some forum standard we can refer to.

Maybe we could say zodiac-symbols pages. They are certainly zodiac symbols, but we don't know if they are zodiacs/zodiac-related.

I've been calling the pages with water "pool pages" for my own reference. I don't know if that characterizes them any better than bathing.

For pages without images, I've been thinking of them as dense-text pages, dense-text with columns, and dense-text with stars. Works for me but might be a bit cumbersome for others.

And, as is already known, I refer to big-plant pages and small-plant pages with hopes that people understand I mean the size of the drawings, not the size of the plants.

I haven't looked very much at the "cosmology" pages, so I don't have any thoughts about whether something else is better.
