I mean the quote taken from your previous message:

I just wanted to mean that this naming scheme for this part (4859) is not so
unfortunate..:-)

Ah.  Yes, it makes (some) sense for that plate to be in the "Wedge" range
with all those bricks.

Uhm...quite high, huh?..especially I still can't understand the need for a
piece description like "boat..." for those plate and bricks . The first
"boat bow plate" that I've ever seen was from a technic aircraft..:-) They
can be named as "wedge..." simply.

:)

Like I mentioned, I've moved the "boat bow plates" on *my* computer to the
Wings category.  I guess the "boat bow bricks" could be moved to wedge.

I think the "boat bow" set exists for the same reason the "wedge" set
exists -- there are a number of similar pieces which work together.

And "w/o corner(s)" types are simply wings, aren't they?

That's where I put them.  But I could understand that people wouldn't think
of them as wings.

Out of all of these parts, I think 32059 is *most* similar to 2419, the
Plate 3 x 6 without Corners.  My second choice would be to name 32059 as
Wing 6 x 4.

Maybe adding a suffix like "double" or "double sided" to parts like this one
(I mean both corners are missing, in a symmetrical way) would be nicer.

Hmm. Maybe.
