Two possible names are "liminal" (from limen, a doorway), or "bifrontal" (from frons, which means face: one of the titles of Janus is Janus bifrons). I kind of like liminal, because it emphasises the function of the twofacedness, rather than simply the fact that the object is twofaced. Graham On 26/11/11 07:39, Fred E.J. Linton wrote:

But feel free, if you must ... . Cheers, -- Fred
