| Nov 22, 2009 at 22:31 | comment | added | Georges Elencwajg | @ Charles. Here is how the accents go: "espace étalé" but "morphisme étale". As an aside, a very erudite friend of mine assures me that the past participle "étalé" [from the verb "étaler"= to spread ] and the adjective "étale" (refering to an aspect of the sea related to tides) are etymologically unrelated. This sounds so utterly absurd that it must true . | |
