SEKHUTLO

→ CORNER

A value that says a shape is measured from its top-left corner.

SEKHUTLO

The first two numbers read the top-left corner, and the next two are the width and height. It is the default for thalaKhutlonne and thalaSekwere.

One word, two meanings. In Setswana, sekhutlo is the corner of a room — and also the angle measured in degrees. That is why thalaKhutlotharo (“three corners”) and seeloSaSekhutlo (“the unit of the angle”) share one root. Bopa has not invented a split the language does not make: in seeloSaSediko and seeloSaKhutlonne, SEKHUTLO means the corner of the shape.
