Actually, the (a) and (b) definitions above are pretty much the same thing anyway. It's a bit like saying a net is string tied in a lattice-like way or a net is a set of strings surrounding square or oblong holes and knotted at each corner.

While we don't use "gap" in Zild, we do use "saddle" extensively. They are typically also called "passes". There isn't any useful distinction between the names as far as I can tell. On one hiking trip I used to do frequently we went over Sugarloaf Pass then over Park Pass then over Cow Saddle. No discernable difference as far as I was aware.

When we were in the States last year we went through a number of "gaps". Generally they were simply passes between two hilly areas, such as the Cumberland Gap.
