"main pavillion" question, re cushions

[beaujolais]

Just needing clarification on something.

In speaking of cushions with "x" number of main pavillions, this means the pavillion facets, right?

Just the ones that go all the way from the culet to the girdle, except in the case of many of the modifieds where instead of the to girdle it would be to the extra row of facets just below the girdle.

The ones that don't make it to the culet are called the lower halves or breaks, or lower girdle facets ("LGFs").

p.s. It is "pavilion mains" not "main pavilions"
