A Usenet group, alt.polyamory, has an
online FAQ that would define your statement as a triad or a triangle, not a V.
"Triads - three people involved in some way. Often used in a fairly committed sense, in some cases involving ceremonies of commitment, but also used simply to mean "three people who are connected".
Triangle (or equilateral triangle) - relationship where three people are each involved with both of the others. Sometimes also called a triad.
Vee - Three people, where the structure puts one person at the bottom, or "hinge" of the vee, also called the pivot point. In a vee, the arm partners are not as commonly close to each other as each is to the pivot."
I liked Avid's description for a Vee far better.

I suppose I need to clarify as well. I was not trying to point out any specific type of poly arrangement...

Your question had extra side benefits of leading to other questions, it appears. Or there aren't many FMF triads on the Board to offer an opinion to your original thought?
