   Nocturnal and diurnal rhomb suppos’d
   Invisible else above all stars, the wheel
   Of day and night. John Milton.

   In rhombs and wedges, and half moons and wings. John Milton.

1. rhomb

   In plane Euclidean geometry, a rhombus (plural rhombi or rhombuses) is a quadrilateral whose four sides all have the same length. Another name is equilateral quadrilateral, since equilateral means that all of its sides are equal in length. The rhombus is often called a "diamond", after the diamonds suit in playing cards which resembles the projection of an octahedral diamond, or a lozenge, though the former sometimes refers specifically to a rhombus with a 60° angle (which some authors call a calisson after the French sweet – also see Polyiamond), and the latter sometimes refers specifically to a rhombus with a 45° angle. Every rhombus is simple (non-self-intersecting), and is a special case of a parallelogram and a kite. A rhombus with right angles is a square.

1. rhomb

   A rhombus, also known as rhomb, is a type of quadrilateral that has all its sides equal in length. In other words, it's a parallelogram where all four sides have the same length. The opposite angles of a rhombus are equal, but the angles might not be right angles. The diagonals bisect each other at right angles and are not equal in length.

1. rhomb

   A vertical circle of any given place, or the intersection of a part of such a circle with the horizon. Rhumbs, therefore, coincide with points of the world, or of the horizon; and hence seamen distinguish the rhumbs by the same names as the points and winds, as marked on the fly or card of the compass. The rhumb-line, therefore, is a line prolonged from any point of the compass in a nautical chart, except the four cardinal points; or it is a line which a ship, keeping in the same collateral point or rhumb, describes throughout its whole course.
