In contrast, a parallelogram haes twa pairs o equal-length sides an aw, but thay are opposite ilk ither rather nor adjacent. Kite quadrilaterals are named for the wind-blown, flyin kites, which eften hae this shape an which are in turn named for a bird. Kites are kent as deltoids an aw, but the wird "deltoid" mey refer tae a deltoid curve an aw, an unrelatit geometric object.
