| Nov 23, 2018 at 21:41 | comment | added | Francois Ziegler | I should add that de Saussure’s flageto appeared first in his Internacia Scienca Revuo (1908, p. 167), and consists of affine rather than vector subspaces. Among the few who quoted him are Bricard (1909), Cartan-Fano (1915/1955, §23), Coolidge (1940, p. 263). | |
| Nov 22, 2018 at 3:01 | comment | added | Francois Ziegler | This seems to be the correct answer. See screenshots added from (1906, 1909, 1910), where flag appears first in Esperanto, then French. As Borel (1951; 1953, p. 202) apparently wrote drapeau before Ehresmann (1955: Oeuvres I, p. 473) one might guess that although not a pupil of de Saussure (obit), he was exporting Swiss terminology. | |
