quīnquangulus (feminine quīnquangula, neuter quīnquangulum); first/second declension

pentagonal
- 1611, Johannes Kepler, Strena seu De Niva Sexangula, p. 5:
  Nam si casu fit, cur non aeque quinquangula cadunt, aut septangula, cur semper sexangula, siquidem nondum confusa et glomerata multitudine, variogue impulsu, sed sparsa et distincta?
  For if it happens by chance, why do they not fall equally pentagonal, or heptagonal, why always hexagonal, if in fact they are never mixed and heaped in a great number, and by different impact, but sparse and distinct?

First/second declension.
