Irreflexive Relation: Also defined as
Some sources define an irreflexive relation to be a relation which is not reflexive.
Hence, under such a definition, an antireflexive relation would also be classified as an irreflexive relation.
Because of such ambiguity of usage, the term irreflexive relation is deprecated on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.
