Even ending in the sense of “disappearing” can still have its modifications according to the kind of Being which an entity may have. The rain is at an end—that is to say it has disappeared. The bread is at an end—that is to say, it has been used up and is no longer available as something ready-to-hand.
Martin Heidegger, Being and Time, pg. 289.
