three legs
Triangle of limbs
Three legs refers to a count of legs—on a stool, a tripod, or a creature.
The phrase appears in riddles, most famously the Sphinx's: what walks on four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening?
The answer is a human, whose cane becomes a third leg in old age.
