Germaine, that's the closest indeed but doesn't really work there.

Tony, I did and I found 2 entries which didn't really answer my question. There is no result found for the English term "isoperimeter". I'm in a bind...

No need to look back if you know Greek and geometry

Glossary? Did you try a 'term search' before psoting? I'm almost 100% certain we've had this term, or one very like it, come up before; you might need to try searching the reverse language pair too (EN > FR).

Thanks!
agree philgoddard : 'This connection appears to have the same perimeter/scope/specifications as the existing one'. We wouldn't use 'a priori' or repeat 'connection'.//'A priori' is much more widely used in everyday conversational French than in English.

Thanks! Are you anti-Latin? Does 'a priori' connote 'it appears'?
