There is something to be said for this view, but on the whole the balance of the evidence is in favor of nitrogen being a pentad.

But this oddness belongs to other numbers also (pentad, heptad, &c.).

In 1820, he added to the last a pentad, so that the whole list amounted to sixty-five.

The structure of Aristotle's Pentad for five act plays is useful as a framework for solving personal problems.
