INITIAL. Placed at the beginning. The initials of a man's name are the first letters of his Dame; as, G. W. for George Washington. When in a will the legatee is described by the initials of his name only, parol evidence may be given to prove his identity. 3 Ves. 148. And a signature made simply with initials is binding. 1 Denio, R. 471. But see Ersk. Inst. B. 3, t. 2, n. 8.

If -- as most of the accounts on the books have it -- counter factuals supervene on actual history without supervening on any initial segment of it, the chances will turn out to be underminable.

Thus, in view of the importance of proteins and LDH to the process of maturation and metabolism of spermatozoa, the aim of this study was to determine the presence and concentration (localization) of total proteins and LDH in the epididymidis initial segment, caput, corpus and distal cauda in adult laboratory hamster.

The initial segment of an approach is designed to transition aircraft from the enroute environment to the intermediate segment of the approach, and the initial segment begins with the initial approach fix (IAF).
All fixed up: initial approach fixes, intermediate fixes, final approach fix, final approach point, missed approach point ... it's easy to get confused. A roadmap can fix all that
