Word: enfeoff Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From Late Middle English enfeffen, enfeoffen (“to grant (property, rights, etc.) under the feudal system”) [and other forms], from Old French enfeffer, enfieffer (compare Anglo-Latin infeoffāre, Anglo-Norman enfeoffer), from en- (prefix meaning ‘in, into’) + fief (“estate held by a person on condition of providing military service to a superior”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *peḱu- (“livestock, especially sheep or cattle”)). The English word is analysable as en- + feoff. Pronunciation: /ɛnˈfɛf/, /ɪnˈfɛf/, /ɛnˈfiːf/, /ɪnˈfiːf/ 1. To transfer a fief to, to endow with a fief; to put (a person) in legal possession of a freehold interest.

Wherefore it does not always follow that where there is a covenant the action of deceit will not lie. Example: I have infeffed Richarde Pygot, sarjeaunt of the lawe, John Norton, knyght, John Pygott of Rypon, gentilman, and Sir Thomas Nobull, prest, in lands and tenements within the fraunchese of Rypon, [...] 2.

Labels: historical Example: The Euclidean algorithms for finding a compound ratio also allowed a ratio and an inverse ratio, and more than two ratios to be compounded, since each compounded pair is equivalent to a single ratio between lines. 2. Specifically, a method, based on a division algorithm, for finding the greatest common divisor (gcd) of two given integers; any of certain variations or generalisations of said method. Example: 1985, Erich Kaltofen, Heinrich Rolletschek, Arithmetic in Quadratic Fields with Unique Factorization, Bob F. Caviness (editor), EUROCAL '85, European Conference on Computer Algebra, Linz, Proceedings, Volume 2, Springer, LNCS 204, page 279, In a quadratic field Q (√), D a squarefree integer, with class number 1 any algebraic integer can be decomposed uniquely into primes but for only 21 domains Euclidean algorithms are known. We prove that for D<-19 even remainder sequences with possibly nondecreasing norms cannot determine the GCD of arbitrary inputs.

Word: affine geometry Part of Speech: noun 1. The branch of geometry dealing with what can be deduced in Euclidean geometry when the notions of line length and angle size are ignored. Labels: uncountable Example: As an alternative to the axiomatic approach, affine geometry can be studied via the properties of affine transformations, which do not, in general, preserve distances or angles, but do preserve alignment of points and parallelism of lines. Example: The notion of parallelism remains central to affine geometry, in which the parallel postulate is replaced by Playfair's axiom, a version of the postulate that relies on neither distance nor angle size. 2. A geometry that is otherwise Euclidean but disregards lengths and angle sizes. Labels: countable Example: This chapter is devoted to the theory of affine geometries: those incidence geometries which satisfy the Euclidean parallel postulate in Playfair's form (Ch. 2, Sec. 2). Example: The affine geometry #123;AG#125;(n,F) is obtained from #123;PG#125;(n,F)^([a projective geometry]) by deleting from the latter all the points of a hyperplane.

Word: affine transformation Part of Speech: noun 1. A geometric transformation that preserves lines and parallelism, but in general not lengths or angles; (more formally) an automorphism of an affine space: a mapping of an affine space onto itself that preserves both the dimension of any affine subspace and the ratio of the lengths of any pair of parallel line segments. Example: An affine transformation does not in general preserve angles between lines or distances between points, but it does preserve ratios of distances between points lying on a straight line. Example: Given an affine space X, every affine transformation on X can be represented as the composition of a linear transformation on X and a translation of X.
