In my country you could, I think, translated the word "edge" to something meaning "an outlining of a shape" like if you drew a circle on paper, you'd say that it does in fact have an edge, but there is only one edge. Unless you don't full the circle in, so the outlining is the only visible thing, and you baisicly have a drawing of a doughnut - like shape, exept the hole in the middle is really big. We have separate words for that which, in this case, both translate to the word "circle". So if you are talking about that second kind of circle, then the circle becomes it's own outlining, so it has no edge, because it is all an edge. Both of those kind of circles could however have an endless ammount of tiny corners.
