peak Explanation: I am using the context provided in the adjoining questions to assume that this is actually about geographical "summits" - since they have coordinates, in which case peak could be the solution. None of the words you found is Termium suggests a geographical entity to me. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2006-03-02 19:36:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops, "in Termium"! |
