Six years ago I posted a fun little chart that highlights the relationship between the terms we use for ordinaries and the related divisions, arrangements, and orientations.
Recently I made a few minor updates to the chart, the most notable of which was to add a column for the corresponding multiple divisions, such as barry and bendy.

(I’d love to also squeeze the diminutive forms such as bars and bendlets onto this same sheet, but I’m running out of space!)
