'subtend'

How embarassing: 'subtend' is an entry in the dictionary that
lives right here next to my desk. I never looked. It says:

> [Random House Dictionary]
>
> subtend, v.t., Geom., to extend under or be opposite to.

Many thanks to Daniel Wolf for the enlightening additional
comments on my explanation of MOS!
