Just a remark about "abutment": it translates the French "aboutement", wi= th a rather different meaning than "aboutissement". The latter is closer= to the "ending" (of some process; with possibly a little shade of "fatal= ity" in it). The two words are related, and I don't know whether the mathematical idea= behind makes "abutment" good, or even better, but I just wanted to menti= on the difference.
