Hi Ludi, "Ellipsis" is rather not "Forma geométrica", it's "à sequência de três pontos (sinal gráfico:...) no final de uma frase", see http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retic%C3%AAncias --Mhanski 13:16, 31 March 2006 (CEST)

In english: Ellipsis \El*lip"sis\ ([e^]l*l[i^]p"s[i^]s), n.; pl. Ellipses

  ([e^]l*l[i^]p"s[=e]z). [L., fr. Gr. 'e`lleipsis a leaving,
  defect, fr. 'ellei`pein to leave in, fall short; 'en in +
  lei`pein to leave. See In, and Loan, and cf. Ellipse.]
  1. (Gram.) Omission; a figure of syntax, by which one or more
     words, which are obviously understood, are omitted; as,
     the virtues I admire, for, the virtues which I admire.
     [1913 Webster]
  2. (Geom.) An ellipse. [Obs.]
     [1913 Webster]
  3. (Printing) a printing symbol, usually three periods in a
     row (. . .), indicating the omission of some part of a
     text; -- used commonly in quotations, so as to suppress
     words not essential to the meaning. A long dash (---) and
     three asterisks (* * *) are sometimes used with the same
     meaning.
     [PJC]

In Portuguese:

■ substantivo feminino

1    Rubrica: geometria. 
     lugar geométrico dos pontos de um plano cujas distâncias a dois pontos fixos desse plano têm soma constante; interseção de um cone circular reto e um plano que corta todas as suas geratrizes 
2    Rubrica: gramática, lingüística. 
     num enunciado, supressão de um termo que pode ser facilmente subentendido pelo contexto lingüístico ou pela situação (p.ex.: meu livro não está aqui, [ele] sumiu!) 
     Obs.: cf. zeugma 

In 95% of the time, We (Brazilians) use elipse to designate a geometric shape. Otherwise it'll be used to indicate a suppression (') or omission of terms in a sentence (elíptico), so is not all my fault :)

Thanks Maciej.
