épipôle, épipole : Bien qu'on trouve dans plusieurs sources la seconde graphie, il vaut mieux choisir la première; le terme pôle pouvant désigner «deux points principaux et opposés» tandis que le suffixe -pole signifie en grec «ville» et sert plutôt à construire des termes tels que acropole, métropole, etc. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9pip%C3%B4le
