> I think terminus is a good word... I have no particular problem with railway analogies -- the terminus is the main station where the traincomes in, and has to go out backwards. The plural may be either termini or terminuses -- both are accepted, at least in British English [1]. The word also has some other, less familiar meanings. Well, maybe people in America are less familiar with the obvious railway meaning? Would "airport" be a better name instead?
