The recent thread on Saint Luc brought up the term "brisé" (final e-accute) that I had not read before. So I went to Groves and found that "Style brisé" refers to a broken appeggiation style, which, in reference to early French Baroque lute music, I am familiar with.
Interestingly, that term, "Style brisé", can't be traced back further than 1928 and one La Laurencie's "Les luthistes" (Paris, 1928). Apparently, back in the day, Couperin referred to the technique as 'luthé'. Thing is, he was referring to harpsichordists using the lute style, not a lutenist using that style. So now we are describing a lute technique using a keyboard style name that was originally used to describe a lute style. Excellent! .. mark To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
