Notes
a) This is not an established term, but has been introduced by the
Editors as no properly accurate and established alternative could be found.
b) The Editors also consider that this term should be retained to
describe a pennant or streamer that narrows towards the fly, and that a rectangular flag
(as illustrated below) whose stripes narrow in the same way, whilst uncommon, should be
classed as having “expanding stripes” - see ‘expanding stripes’.
