good day.

well that reminds me to some process-aspects.
but i dont quite understand: does tramepu refer to a
not-yet-started-working-process or to an interrupted working-process ?
a process which is stopped and aimed to be continued is : interrupted -> aspect of interruption
a process which is stopped and not aimed to be continued is : aborted -> aspect of abortion
a process which is stopped before it has been started and to be continued is:
deferred -> aspect of deferral
a process which is stopped before it has been started and not to be continued
is: cancelled -> aspect of cancellation
and others ...
which one do you mean with "trambedu" and "rumbende" ?

"to stop" is a very ambiguos but usefull generic verb, and i used it as neutral
form, without any aspects.

i was unable to find a term for the "time span before a process has started", to
name it "preparation" would be inappropriate,
because a preparation itself is a process and not a "process-free time-span".
perhaps someone can give me a hint to find the correct term?

regards,
c.s.
