Hi Pilou, well some other words that could probably be used would be "section", "portion", "segment", or "piece".

Bonjour Pilou,

Les mots qui me sembleraient les plus proches du sens de span dans ce contexte seraient : la "portée", "l'étendue" ou la "couverture".
Lequel serait le plus précis ?

Le plus poétique serait "l'empan" pour le second, et "lamelle" pour le premier... :)

Mais c'est toujours étonnant comme l'anglais donne à un même mot une quantité de significations suivant un contexte différent!

The most poetic would be "span" for the second, and "lamella" for the first... :)

But it's always amazing how English gives the same word a number of meanings in a different context!
