From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   tail recursion n.   If you aren't sick of it already, see {tail
   recursion}.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   tail recursion
  
      When the last thing a function (or procedure)
      does is to call itself.   Such a function is called tail
      recursive.   A function may make several recursive calls but a
      call is only tail-recursive if the caller returns immediately
      after it.   E.g.
  
      f n = if n < 2 then 1 else f (f (n-2) + 1)
  
      Here the both calls to fib are {recursive} but only the outer
      one is tail recursive.
  
      See {tail recursion optimisation}, and, if you aren't sick of
      them already, {recursion}, {tail recursion}.
  
      [{Jargon File}]
  
      (1996-02-22)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   tail recursion modulo cons
  
      A generalisation of {tail recursion}
      introduced by D.H.D. Warren.   It applies when the last thing a
      function does is to apply a constructor functions (e.g. cons)
      to an application of a non-primitive function.   This is
      transformed into a tail call to the function which is also
      passed a pointer to where its result should be written.   E.g.
  
      f []      = []
      f (x:xs) = 1 : f xs
  
      is transformed into (pseudo {C}/{Haskell}):
  
      f [] = []
      f l   = f' l allocate_cons
  
      f' []      p = { *p = nil;
      return *p
               }
      f' (x:xs) p = { cell = allocate_cons;
                  *p = cell;
      cell.head = 1;
      return f' xs &cell.tail
               }
  
      where allocate_cons returns the address of a new cons cell, *p
      is the location pointed to by p and &c is the address of c.
  
      [D.H.D. Warren, DAI Research Report 141, University of
      Edinburgh 1980].
  
      (1995-03-06)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   tail recursion optimisation
  
      (TRO) When the last thing a function or procedure does is to
      call itself, it is not necessary to retain the calling
      environment.   This is important when a procedure calls itself
      {recursive}ly many times for, without tail recursion
      optimisation, the environments of earlier invocations would
      fill up the memory only to be discarded when (if) the last
      call terminated.
  
      Tail recursion optimisation is a special case of {last call
      optimisation} but it allows the further optimisation that some
      arguments may be passed in situ, possibly in {register}s.   It
      allows recursive functions to be compiled into {iterative}
      loops.   See also {conversion to iteration}, {tail recursion
      modulo cons}.
  
  

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

      Jews returned to Jerusalem (Ezra 2:59; Neh. 7:61).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Telharsa, suspension of the plow
