We show that all abnormal parity three-body meson interactions can be adequ
ately described by quark loops, evaluated at zero external momentum, with c
ouplings determined by U(N-f) symmetry. We focus primarily on radiative mes
on decays which involve one pseudoscalar. The agreement with experiment for
nonrare decays is surprisingly good and requires very few parameters, name
ly the coupling constants g(pi qq) and g(pqq) and some mixing angles. This
agreement extends to some three-body decays that are dominated by pion pair
s in a P-wave state.
