In my experience, Portuguese words are qualified by convention as:

  • monossílabo (1 syllable)
  • dissílabo (2 syllables)
  • trissílabo (3 syllables)
  • polissílabo (4 or more syllables)

I added one citation to Citations:polissílabo using the sense of "4 or more syllables". But in the entry polissílabo, I found the sense "having more than 1 syllable". Given the etymology (poli- = poly-, many; sílaba = syllable; -o = forms masculine nouns) it is plausible as an alternative sense, but I couldn't find citations for it. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 08:40, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
