Recent threads on dovetailed projects (elsewhere) highlighted to me that I need to learn the terminology of the Incra system.

1. I believe that the Incra double dovetail is the corner post that appears as a bow tie when viewed from an angle - exactly opposing tails. Is this correct?

2. As far as I know, no other dovetail jig can make the double dovetail. Is this correct?

3. Are "double-double dovetails" the Incra-specific inlaid double dovetails?

4. To me, the inlaid dovetails in a "normal" dovetailed box, for example, are just that - inlaid, not double. Is there some other terminology? I am not able to locate anything else.

An Internet search showed a multitude of variations on dovetail design, as you can expect. But it is the terminology specific to the Incra dovetails that I am trying to nail down, as it appears that no one else has claimed the double-double name.
