No, an array is not defined in terms of pointers (6.2.5p20).  I can
write

    int arr[10][20];

and there's not a pointer in sight, either a pointer object or a pointer
value.  (Pointer values will likely be created if I perform operations on
arr.)

The indexing operator, which requires an array object (explicitly or
implicitly created) to work properly, is of course defined in terms of
pointers.  Arrays themselves are not.
