Par définition, le terme anglais "rectangle" désigne une figure de 4 angles droits (cf. WEBIN, 1976 et WEBAB, 1984). Le terme "rectangular table" engloberait donc la table carrée (à 4 côtés égaux) et la table rectangulaire (plus longue que large). L'adjectif français "oblong" signifie plus long que large, mais pas nécessairement rectangulaire. 3, record 7, French, - table%20rectangulaire
