Structural alignment
Definition
An archaic and very rare lexical regionalism denoting an accidental fitting, a combination of circumstances, a happy coincidence, or the material result of an act of alignment and harmonization; its structural meaning stems from the participial extension of the verb 'aveni', suggesting a stable order or structure born from elements fitted together. In some ancient northern dialects, it could also express a small unwritten contractual agreement between two parties.
