Note from asker:
| Hmmm. I like the word for its conciseness, but it may be a bit misleading, esp. as the second ref. defines the three parts as base, shaft, and capital. In the above explanations, it's more clear that the shaft itself has three distinct areas of decoration. I think that it might just require a parenthetical explanation, whether I use tripartite or "tritostyle". Many thanks to both of you. |

La portada tiene tres cuerpos. En el primero está el acceso adintelado
con un relieve floral en la clave; está enmarcado por un cornisamento y
dos columnas de capitel dórico y fuste tritóstilo (un tercio del fuste con
relieves vegetales y los dos restantes con estrías o contracanales).

| That's helpful, thanks. Sort of what I was thinking, but I'm still not sure what to say in English.. three-part column? |
