'''Tenon''':  The tenon is the smaller diameter protrusion at the end of a pipe stem which holds the stem to the stummel.  It takes its name from one of the oldest joints in woodworking, the mortise and tenon joint.  Over the last two centuries tenons have been made separately with bone screws, cut integrally into a vulcanite stem to fit a cut mortise in the stummel, made from threaded aluminum or plastic, made from aluminum to fit a pre-drilled mortise so as to hold a filter, made from delrin and placed into a drilled hole in the stem, and in other fashions as well.
