58 mins confidence: 
toothing stone Explanation: In the following you will find both meanings of the word explained: pierre d'attente is equivalent to toothing stone. In architecture, they are stones protruding from a wall from place to place, to establish a link with an other wall that will supposedly be erected later (http://www.hyperdictionary.com/searc...efine=toothing). Figuratively, they are used about something in an action, a work, a story that lets the audience think it's partly achieved and makes it expect a continuation (http://www.slate.com/id/2114257/). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 Stunde (2009-08-08 06:55:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- SORRY: I supplied the answer in English. but since it occurs more often that the English terms (rather than the French ones) are used in Greek texts, it may perhaps prove to be useful allthesame. |
