"extensor" sounds good to me in Portuguese. When I invented the word, I was thinking of the mathemetical concept ("a vector space is spanned by any basis") as well the colloquial version ("a bridge that spans a river"). I think there is no word in Portuguese that reflects both, since spanning in vector context is "gerar" (generate) and a bridge would "atravessar" (cross) a river. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - han...@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
