Ecoinçon (spandrel)
An écoinçon is the space between two arcs (arches) or between an arch and a rectangular envelope.
The top picture shows clearly what a spandrel is; it makes it easier to spot the spandrels in the lower picture.
The photograph shows a detail of one of the clochers (bell towers) of the Saint-Philibert in Tournus.

Eglise (church)
An église is a building where Christians gather for their worship, in the context of this lexicon a building where Roman Catholics gather for their service.
There are Romanesque churches in abundance in Saône-et-Loire, in all sizes, from cathédrale (cathedral) to paroissiale (parish church).
In the picture the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption in Ameugny.

Elévation (elevation)
Term used among others on technical drawings. An élévation "looks" at something, as opposed to a coupe (section or cross section) which concentrates on what one sees when one cuts through an object or a building. A plan could be defined as a section in the horizontal plane.
In the picture two elevations of Romanesque houses in Cluny; the buildings 23-25 Rue de la République and 1-3 Rue de la Chanaise.
A definition closer to roman (Romanesque) architecture is that of the élévation of a travée (bay) in the nef (nave) of a church, or the élévation of a travée at the outside of a church.
On the second picture an élévation of a travée inside the Saint-Lazare in Autun.

Epannelé (crude ©)
The translation in the title is followed by this sign ©; this means that it has been "invented" by me.
The word is only used relating to stone carving, and it refers to an almost untreated piece of stone, in which nevertheless the final shape is recognizable.
This could be e.g. a chapiteau (capital), where the decorations have not (yet) been carved.
The crude capitals high in the nave are to be found in the Saint-Martin in Bragny-en-Charollais (Saint-Vincent-Bragny).
