Dimples, an elongated chin with a long face, and a cleft chin are separate features in the catalogue. The cleft-chin description combines fidelity with concealed or double speech, illustrating the system’s internally mixed character assignments. The local bodily terms describe facial form, but the source’s proposed connection with temperament or moral disposition is not a reliable inference.
