- Counteracting cycle = insult cycle = backward Ko cycle
- Interacting cycle = overacting cycle = controlling cycle = Ko cycle
- Interpromoting cycle = generating cycle = Sheng cycle
- Yuan (point) = source (point)
- Luo = lo = passage = connecting (point or vessel) = collaterals
- Du channel = Du Mo = Governing Vessel = GV
- Ren channel = Ren Mo = Conception Vessel = CV
- Mo = Mai (hence Yinweimo = Yinweimai; Du Mo = Du Mai, etc.)
- Xi = Cleft = Zi-Cleft = accumulation point
- Back-Shu = Shu point = Yu point = Associated point = Associated Effect Point = A.E.P.
- Front-Mu = Mo = Alarm point
- Cun = tsun = inch = A.C.I.
- Qi = Chi (Ch’) = Ki = (vital) energy
- Sanjiao = Triple Heater = Triple Warmer = Tri Heater = Three Heaters = Triple Burning Space
- Reinforcing point = (mother point) = tonification point
- Reducing point = (son point) = sedation point = dispersal point
