 * I dispute SOP-ness. "Crescent" is a shape but "sickle" is not, and "X moon" doesn't automatically imply "moon shaped like X" (at least we have no shape sense there); the moon is shaped only like a sickle-head, and not the entire thing with its shaft; and a sickle moon might be the one when harvesters go out with their sickles to do harvesting.

 * The etymology of in the sense of a shape stems from, which means not any crescent shape but, specifically, the crescent moon, after , “waxing“, so “waxing moon“ in Latin is luna crescens (lune croissante in modern French).  --Lambiam 20:11, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
