    = bound, boundary, cut-off point, to what extent, borderline, frontier, confine, fringe, limit, cut off [cutoff], shore, breaking point, ceiling.

    Ex: A subject which is perceived as being entirely contained within the bounds of another will have its 'circle' totally within the boundaries of the domain for the broader subject.

    Ex: Note the different definitions, and the different boundaries for this one subject area.
    Ex: The names of Muslim authors throughout the classical period, for which the cut-off point is around the year 1800, were made up of the following elements.
    Ex: Clearly an index must permit access to a document by its central theme, but, to what extent should access be provided to secondary or subsidiary topics considered within a document?.
    Ex: Both approaches have in common, however, the problem of establishing a borderline between public interest and private initiative.
    Ex: Start afresh, think anew; the frontiers are boundless.
    Ex: For a century we have been repeating inanities and keeping up this timid, non-committal retreat from society, but if we think of ourselves as communicating librarians we may see our inescapable involvement within the confines (but the illimitable confines) of our profession.
    Ex: The university is located 15 miles from the center of town on the southern fringe.
    Ex: The Catalogue Module has no limit on the length of a record, and a single field can be up to 200 characters in length.
    Ex: It is assumed that the sum of those units receiving top priority status is less than the current budgeted amount and that a cut off will occur at some point.
    Ex: People have employed this term to encompass programmes of study stretching from the furthest shores of technology-based activity to the vaguest and most nebulous-seeming courses of study in the arts/humanities areas.
    Ex: Every night thousands of illegal aliens cross into Arizona and the people there are truly at the breaking point.
