Begging your pardon, but is it appropriate to call the handle of the trident a tine? If not, then your example is flawed, having the form of

      |      |
| |
| |
| |
\ /
|
|

Oughtn't it be more like

     |   |   |
| | |
| | |
| | | ?
\ | /
|
|

(Not that I could ever dream of composing either, mind you)

P.S. If it helps anybody's presentation - the commands [ pre ] and [ /pre ] but omit the spaces will permit spaces in text to be preserved in posts.
