I remember a while ago you posted a list of face shapes and you
listed either the triangular or oblong as "terminal", what do
you mean by that?

Here's an example of an oblong face:

> The Oblong face shape is similar to the Oval. However, it
often gives an "overgrown" impression and its often extreme
length makes the face too long overall to comfortably fit within
an aesthetically-pleasing oval. Additionally, people with Oblong
faces have heavy features which are not typically seen on Oval
faces. People with this face shape are sometimes humorously
referred to as "horse faced", suggesting the Oblong's
proportions are just simply too long and heavy-featured to be as
aesthetically pleasing as the Oval.

> Whenever in doubt, I recommend going back to neoteny. While we
agree that Oblong is less robust than Square, do you not think
that Oblong is actually the LEAST neotenous of all the shapes,
even less so than Square? I have seen children with Square,
Pentagon, Round and Oval faces, but have you ever seen a child
with an Oblong face? I haven't. Therefore Oblong could be viewed
as a terminal group for selective pressure that minimizes
neoteny.

this is the same set as the Pentagon.)

able to map onto itself, but also the Pentagon, Oval and Round
taken together map onto themselves. This suggests to me that the
Oblong is a dead end.

Another dead end would be the Hexagon:
