We shall denote by ω the natural partial order on the idempotents E = E(S) of a regular semigroup S, so that in E,

A partially ordered semigroup S(≦) is called naturally partially ordered [9] if the imposed partial order ≦ extends ω in the sense that

No assumption is made about the reverse implication.
