&?;; &?; (see Tri-) + &?; to carve: cf. F. triglyphe.]
(Arch.) An ornament in the frieze of the Doric order, repeated
at equal intervals. Each triglyph consists of a rectangular tablet,
slightly projecting, and divided nearly to the top by two parallel and

or spaces, called femora. A half channel, or glyph, is also cut upon
each of the perpendicular edges of the tablet. See Illust. of
