Translation of tomb shapes[edit]

copied from wikiproject japan talk page

For User:Bamse/Japanese_Imperial_tombs I'd need good translations of tomb shapes as found for instance in sub pages of this or directly in the tables at ja:天皇陵. The shapes are:

上円下方: jōen kahō: round-top-square-bottom type: round mound in the center and a square mound at the base, runden Steinhügel auf rechteckiger Basis!
前方後円: zenpō kōen: keyhole-shaped!; square-front, round-back
八角: hakkaku: eight-sided!
多宝塔: tahōtō!
石造五輪塔: stone gorintō!
石造宝篋印塔: stone hōkyōintō!
石造十三重塔, 石造九重塔: 13/9-storey stone pagoda!
円墳: enfun: circular mound, circular-typed, tumulus
円丘: knoll, hillock?
山形: mountain?
方丘: square!
方形: square-typed
八角丘: eight-sided hill / octagon hill
円形: round (again)?
方形堂: square temple / square hall?

Any suggestions are appreciated. bamse (talk) 22:53, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did you see this page? Looking at the image of this page, it's definitely Tahōtō. Oda Mari (talk) 08:35, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Indeed that looks like a tahōtō. bamse (talk) 20:56, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
