KHUTLOTHARO_ANAMA

→ TRIANGLE_FAN

A shape kind whose triangles spread out from the first vertex.

KHUTLOTHARO_ANAMA

Under KHUTLOTHARO_ANAMA, the first vertex becomes the hub, and each triangle is built from it and two vertices in a row. The result is a spread of triangles, like a folding fan.

It is not fussy about the count. With fewer than three vertices nothing is drawn — it does not throw. That is unlike DIKHUTLOTHARO, which does.

The name is a coinage. Setswana has no word for a fan — the folding kind you wave — in any source consulted. anama is to spread out; the name is built from what the shape looks like, in the same way as SESOKAMISI and SEPHAPHATHI.
