Line 6: I would still suggest we use the terminology ''initial object'' and ''terminal object'' in the article itself. Which of these should be universal and which should be couniversal is surely going to vary from author to author. Hungerford, for example, calls initial objects ''universal'' and terminal ones ''couniversal'', but this is at odds with the usage of [[limit (category theory)\|limits and colimits]]. Lang calls initial objects ''universal repelling'' and terminal objects ''universally attracting'' which is slightly more descriptive. -- [[User:Fropuff\|Fropuff]] ([[User talk:Fropuff\|talk]]) 19:47, 15 January 2008 (UTC) == zero group == why is the empty set initial in set, but not in group?
