peer agreement (net): +1partly gilded Explanation: This has more hits in Google than the alternatives you had already tried. This isn't exactly "half" gilded but it conveys the meaning, and the original version doesn't mean "half" gilded either to the extent that the observer has only really noted that the gilding isn't finished or complete. If you do want to keep the "half" reference, I would personally choose "half gilded" but the difference is marginal. |
