<p>In English, we have the phrases <i>front matter</i> and <i>back
matter</i> (or <i>end matter</i>) that refer to the sections
that come before and after the main body of the text,
respectively. Front matter may consist of an introduction, a
foreword, a preface, a title page, a table of contents, and so on.
Back matter may include an afterword, an index, a bibliography, a
glossary, charts and tables, and so on. The front matter and the
back matter together are all of the <b>taymeymey</b> of a book.<br>

<p>No. Size and scope are not what define a <b>taymey.</b> It is
about whether it is the main body of the text or another piece in
support of the main body.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">But if that's the case, then perhaps a {taymey} could be a number of
paragraphs within a chapter, provided that they dealt with a specific
subject, a subject different than that of the rest of the paragraphs
of that chapter.
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>No. Paragraphs in the main body of a text that are more specific
than other paragraphs are still part of the main body, and so are
not <b>taymeymey.</b></p>
