 GRASS GIS includes a lot of water/hydrology related modules.

 it would be nice to harmonize/standardize terms over modules.

 e.g.

 [http://grass.osgeo.org/grass71/manuals/r.stream.extract.html
 r.stream.extract]

 {{{
 r.stream.extract - Performs stream network extraction.

 threshold=float [required]
     Minimum flow accumulation for streams
     Must be > 0
 }}}

 [http://grass.osgeo.org/grass71/manuals/r.watershed.html r.watershed]

 {{{
 r.watershed - Calculates hydrological parameters and RUSLE factors.

 threshold=integer
     Minimum size of exterior watershed basin
 }}}

 AFAIU threshold is basically a value of flow accumulation.

 there may be a lot of other terms which should be  harmonized/standardized
